Background:The aim is to compare the spot urine protein/creatinine ratio with 24hour urinary protein in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy. Materials and Methods: A prospective correlational study was conducted on 100 hypertensive pregnantwomen during the study period. The objective of the study was to know if a spot protein/creatinine ratio would provide an accurate quantification of proteinuria and whether it can replace the use of the 24 hours urine protein in preeclamptic women. Ethical clearance and informed consent were obtained. Urine samples were collected for visual dipstick, spot urine P/C ratio and 24hours urinary protein estimation.
