uPCR and uACR formula related query

If uACR has to be less than 30 and uPCR has to be less than 20 to be normal, then do the actual albumin and creatnine readings before putting them in formula of uACR and the actual total protein and the crestinine readinds before putting them in the formula of uPCR matter? If someone has low protein in the urine sample test and low creatinine in the same, then dividing the protein by creatinine to get the uPCR and someone else, or the same person in a different urine sample, say, has higher protein and higher creatinine in the report, but by dividing the protein reading by the creatinine, the same uPCR readining comes in the second case. then, both caese have same uPCR, but inside, the total protein and total creatinine is lesser in the first case and higher in the second. This is confusing me, because, in the 2nd case, actual albumin or protein in the urine is high, actual creatinine in the urine also high, would not it mean problem? if I get the uPCR or uACR ratio, and find it ok or similar to the first case, it is beacuse the creatinine has also increased in the 2nd case, not only the albumin or protein. So uACR and uPCR formulas tend to say, ur urine had higher protein? oh dont bother it has high creatnine too, so just divide, look at the ratio reading and relax, it is confusing me.
