The UCRP Estimator Tool helps you accurately calculate your estimated retirement benefits.
How to Use the UCRP Estimator
This Urinary Creatine to Protein (UCRP) ratio estimator helps assess your kidney’s function by calculating the ratio based on the urinary creatinine, protein concentration, urine volume, and body surface area.
- Enter the Urinary Creatinine in mg/dL.
- Enter the Protein Concentration in mg/dL.
- Enter your 24-hour Urine Volume in mL.
- Enter your Body Surface Area in m².
- Press the “Calculate” button to see the UCRP result.
How it Calculates
The formula used for the UCRP calculation is:
UCRP = (Urinary Creatinine * Protein Concentration * Urine Volume) / (Body Surface Area * 1000)
This formula takes into account the concentrations of creatinine and protein in urine, the total volume of urine over 24 hours, and the body surface area to estimate the UCRP, giving an indication of renal function.
