Enter the urine potassium level and the creatinine level into the Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Urine K To Creatinine Ratio. 

Urine K To Creatinine Ratio Formula

KCR = K *1000 / (Cr*88)

Variables:

  • KCR is the Urine K To Creatinine Ratio ()
  • K is the urine potassium level
  • Cr is the creatinine level

To calculate Urine K To Creatinine Ratio, multiply the urine potassium level by 1000, then divide by the result of the creatinine level times 88.

How to Calculate Urine K To Creatinine Ratio?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Urine K To Creatinine Ratio.

  1. First, determine the urine potassium level. 
  2. Next, determine the creatinine level. 
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = KCR = K *1000 / (Cr*88).
  4. Finally, calculate the Urine K To Creatinine Ratio.
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

urine potassium level = 8712

creatinine level = 123123
