The IDEXX VetTest® Urine P:C Ratio is comprised of two new tests—urine protein (UPRO) and urine creatinine (UCRE).

These new tests are specifically calibrated for urine protein and urine creatinine. They are validated for urine samples and are for use only with the IDEXX VetTest analyser.

Follow the steps below for the IDEXX Urine P:C Ratio .

After you've collected and centrifuged the sample:

	1.	Perform the urine protein (UPRO) test on the VetTest analyser.
	2.	While the UPRO test is running, prepare the sample for the urine creatinine test using the IDEXX Urine Protein:Creatinine Sample Preparation Kit.
	3.	Perform the urine creatinine (UCRE) test on the VetTest analyser.
	4.	The VetTest will calculate the ratio by dividing the UPRO result by the UCRE result (UPRO/UCRE).
