Neither the urine protein dipstick test nor the urine-protein creatinine test satisfy the measure's numerator criteria. Albuminuria is the preferred test in clinical practice guidelines for kidney disease screening and monitoring because epidemiologic data demonstrate a strong relationship between the quantity or urine albumin with both kidney and CVD risk and observed CVD even at very low levels. Assays to measure albumin are more precise and sensitive than assays to measure urine protein.
