Calculate Urine Albumin/Creatinine ratio from Protein/Creatinine ratio

Description

Estimated urine albumin creatinine ratio by converting urine protein/creatinine measurement, or by estimation from dipstick urinalysis (negative, trace, +, ++, +++). methods described in Sumida et al. Annals Int Med. 202.

Usage

calculate_uacr_from_upcr(
  PCR,
  gender,
  diabetic = NA,
  hypertensive = NA,
  PCR_units = "mg/g"
)

Arguments

PCR	urine Protein/creatinine ratio (mg/g creat.)
gender	Gender (Female/Male)
diabetic	Diabetic (T/F)
hypertensive	Hypertensive (T/F) using prior cutoff of >140/90 or on meds
PCR_units	urine Protein/creatinine units ("mg/g" default)

Value

Dataframe with predicted ACR (pACR) and estimated error

Examples

calculate_uacr_from_upcr(PCR = 1000, gender = "female", diabetic = T, hypertensive = T)
calculate_uacr_from_upcr(PCR = 500.0, gender = "female", diabetic = T, hypertensive = T)
calculate_uacr_from_upcr(PCR = 150, gender = "female", diabetic = T, hypertensive = T)
