A very important disease in Medical Small Animal Clinic is the Inferior Urinary Tract Disease Feline which, if not treated in time, can secondarily lead to kidney complications. In order to detect glomerular injury, veterinary medical use parameters such as urea dosing and plasma creatinine at diagnosis. However, these substances only identify kidney injury when at least 75% of nephrons are functionally compromised; it is not favorable since the early diagnosis is desired. The use of analysis of the protein/creatine urinary ratio is an alternative because through this determination may detect an impaired renal function when only 25% of the parenchyma is affected. This study aimed to evaluate the importance of using determination of protein reason / urinary creatinine in the early diagnosis of renal injury secondary to urinary tract disease Lower Felines. Were included in this study, 12 cats treated at the Medical Clinic of Small Animal Veterinary Hospital UFCG, campus Ducks diagnosed with Feline Lower Urinary Tract Disease in the period August 2013 to July 2014. The results showed that 66 6% of the cats had values of cause protein/urinary creatinine
