The urea (U)/creatinine (C) ratio was measured in single urine samples The mean U/C ratios in healthy individuals aged 3-7 years and 11-12 years were 36.1 for males and 36.0 for females, and 22.1 for males and 19.2 for females, respectively. Those in individuals aged 14-15 years, 19-23 years, 21-60 years, and 61-94 years were all between 15 and 18. The U/C ratios in patients aged 59-87 years in geriatric wards were 15.3 for males and 16.3 for females.
