About Microalbumin Urine Test | Kidney Health in Arcadia
Albumin is a protein normally present in the blood. Healthy kidneys filter blood and keep most proteins in the bloodstream. When kidneys are damaged, small amounts of albumin can leak into urine.
A microalbumin urine test is often used to screen for early kidney disease in people with conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure. Detecting albumin early allows for interventions that may slow kidney damage.
The test can be performed on a random urine sample, a timed collection, or as part of an albumin-to-creatinine ratio. The ratio helps account for variations in urine concentration.
Results are typically reported as milligrams of albumin per gram of creatinine or milligrams per liter. Elevated levels may indicate kidney damage, and repeat testing is often needed to confirm findings.
