Multicenter StudyUsefulness of the quantitative measurement of urine protein at a community-based health checkup: a cross-sectional study.
The dipstick urinalysis for proteinuria has been used for chronic kidney disease (CKD) screening at community-based health checkups; however, it has major drawbacks in that the result is only semi-quantitative and is influenced by urine concentration. ⋯ The dipstick urinalysis for proteinuria appears less reliable than expected, suggesting that the quantitative measurement of urine protein should be performed even during mass health checkups to ensure the early detection and prevention of CKD.
