About Urine – Microalbumin Test
The Urine – Microalbumin Test is used to detect the presence of very small amounts of albumin – a protein that is normally in the bloodstream. If the kidney has been damaged, a small amount of albumin can appear in the urine. When this leakage is found early enough, doctors can find kidney disease before there is serious damage. In Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, cutting-edge lab methods are applied to ensure accurate and reliable kidney health diagnostics.
What is a Urine – Microalbumin Test?
A Urine – Microalbumin Test is a lab test that looks for tiny traces of albumin (an abnormal protein found in the urine). This is one of the best screening tools for early diabetic kidney disease ( diabetic nephropathy ), and it is beneficial to monitor kidney function in people with high blood pressure or any other kidney conditions. Your medical provider may recommend having the test performed on a random or early morning urine sample as well as a 24-hour urine collection.
Common Reasons for a Urine Microalbumin Test
- Screening for diabetic kidney disease
- Monitoring kidney function in people with diabetes
- Evaluation of kidney damage due to hypertension
- Assessment of chronic kidney disease
- Routine kidney health check-up in high-risk individuals
- Follow-up of previously abnormal urine protein results
- Monitoring response to kidney disease treatment
