Key result
The albumin-to-creatinine ratio from an untimed morning urine specimen strongly correlated with the 24-hour albumin excretion rate (r=0.96, P=0.0001) in black subjects with NIDDM.

An untimed morning urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio is highly correlated with 24-hour albumin excretion in black patients with type 2 diabetes, supporting its use for microalbuminuria screening.
Chaiken et al. (1997) conducted a cross-sectional in NIDDM (Type 2 Diabetes) (n=218). Untimed morning urine specimen (albumin-to-creatinine ratio) vs. 24-h urine specimen (albumin excretion rate) was evaluated on Correlation between albumin-to-creatinine ratio and 24-h albumin excretion rate (r 0.96, p=0.0001). The albumin-to-creatinine ratio from an untimed morning urine specimen strongly correlated with the 24-hour albumin excretion rate (r=0.96, P=0.0001) in black subjects with NIDDM.
