Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio
The Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio test measures the ratio of albumin to creatinine in urine, helping detect early kidney damage.About Test
The Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio test measures the amount of albumin (a protein) in the urine in relation to creatinine. Healthy kidneys prevent significant amounts of albumin from passing into urine, so elevated levels may indicate early kidney damage. This test is especially useful for detecting early-stage kidney disease in individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, or other risk factors. By comparing albumin with creatinine, the test provides a more accurate assessment of protein leakage and kidney function.Why This Test
This test is done to detect early kidney damage, especially in individuals with diabetes or hypertension, assess risk of kidney disease, and monitor ongoing kidney conditions.Who Should Take
This test is recommended for individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease risk, or those undergoing regular kidney monitoring, as advised by a doctor.Preparation
