nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio

A crude parameter used in cytology and surgical pathology, in which interphase (i.e., nondividing) nuclei are proportionately larger than the surrounding cytoplasm, a finding which is often increased in malignant cells.

N:C ratio A crude parameter used in cytology and surgical pathology, where interphase–ie, nondividing, nuclei are proportionately larger than the surrounding cytoplasm; the N:C ratio is usually ↑ in malignant cells

Patient discussion about nuclear:cytoplasmic ratio

Q. Q. I want to know about urine protein creatine ratio in diagnosing nephrotic syndrome. Please explain interms of unit such as mg/mg or mmol/mg. Normal range, nephrotic range with good referrence.A. Nephrotic syndrome is defines as a damage to the kidneys, in which there is a leak of large amounts of protein (over 3.5 grams of protein / 24 hours urine output) from the blood to the urine. Protein loss causes low protein count in the blood (hypoalbuminemia) and edemas (excess fluid in the interstitial cavity which is between the cells, causes leg swelling most often, and also in the adbomen and around the eyes).
