We also use creatinine ratios but on our '24' hour collections. We
know that a reasonable proportion of these sample are not true 24
hour collections but believe that collecting over a period is better
than a simple random specimen which is often very dilute.
The really positive cases are sample independent but it is the small
or biochemically inactive tumours which are difficult with random
specimens, as is monitoring for recurrence.
