Proteinuria is one of the diagnostic criteria of preeclampsia (PE). Measurement of 24-hour urine protein is the gold standard method for detection of proteinuria in PE. The 24-hour urine sampling is time-consuming, and inconvenient. To evaluate the accuracy of protein/creatinine (P/C) ratio in detection of significant proteinuria (> 1 g/24-hours urine) in PE.
