Diagnostic accuracy of urine dipstick for proteinuria in older outpatients

Conclusion Urine dipstick test can be used for screening in older outpatients with ACR ≥300mg/g or PCR as the reference standard for proteinuria. However, we cannot recommend the test as a screening tool with ACR ≥30mg/g as the reference owing to its low sensitivity.
