Background: C-peptide consists of 31 amino acids, synthesized in the beta cells of the pancreas and co-secreted along with insulin. Hence, serum C-peptide may be the preferred diagnostic biomarker for evaluating beta cell function compared to insulin. The urinary C-peptide to creatinine ratio (UCPCR) recently gained attention as a non-invasive biomarker for evaluating and monitoring metabolic risk. In this study, we aimed to characterize guiding values of UCPCR in healthy indi...
