About the Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) Test
Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) Test is a blood test that is used to measure the level of albumin, a kind of protein which is against creatinine present in urine. This test helps to check kidney diseases before their symptoms appear (at the early stage). For people who are experiencing diabetes, high blood pressure, or chronic kidney damage, doctors recommend the Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) Test.
What is a Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) Test?
The ACR Test is a urine test that detects small quantities of leakage of albumin from the kidneys. Albumin measured in conjunction with creatinine allows a better assessment by taking into account the variability of urine concentration. It is one of the most useful tests to check for early diabetic kidney disease (diabetic nephropathy), as well as to monitor kidney function over time.
Common Reasons for a Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) Test
- Early detection of diabetic kidney disease
- Monitoring kidney health in patients with diabetes
- Evaluation of kidney damage caused by high blood pressure
- Assessment of chronic kidney disease (CKD)
- Monitoring kidney function during treatment
- Screening individuals at high risk of kidney disease
- Evaluation of persistent protein in urine
- Follow-up of patients with kidney disorders

- Have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes
- Have high blood pressure (hypertension)
