The UP/C ratio provides a precise measurement of protein loss in urine, corrected for urine concentration. A ratio below 0.5 is normal and indicates no significant protein loss.
A low UP/C ratio is excellent and indicates urine concentration without significant protein leakage.
No action needed.
Canine UP/C: 0.1 (Low)The UP/C ratio provides a precise measurement of protein loss in urine, corrected for urine concentration. A ratio below 0.5 is normal and indicates no significant protein loss.
No action needed. Kidney protein filtration is intact.
Canine UP/C: 0.2A UP/C ratio above 0.5 is abnormal and indicates protein-losing nephropathy (glomerular disease). Ratios above 2.0 are noticeable and strongly correlate with progression to kidney failure. Breeds predisposed include Doberman Pinschers, Golden Retrievers, and Soft-Coated Wheaten Terriers.
Your vet will assess blood pressure (hypertension is common) and may start an ACE inhibitor like enalapril or benazepril to reduce proteinuria. Monitoring UP/C, creatinine, and blood pressure is essential long-term.
