The Microalbumin – 24 Hrs Urine test is a diagnostic test used to measure the amount of albumin (a type of protein) excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Normally, healthy kidneys prevent albumin from passing into the urine, but early kidney damage can allow small amounts to leak.

This test provides a more accurate assessment of protein loss compared to a single urine sample, as it reflects total albumin excretion throughout the day. It is especially important for detecting early kidney disease in individuals with diabetes or hypertension.

Monitoring microalbumin levels helps in early diagnosis and management of kidney disorders, preventing progression to more serious conditions.

The purpose of the Microalbumin – 24 Hrs Urine Test is to

  • To measure albumin excretion over 24 hours
  • To detect early kidney damage
  • To monitor kidney function in high-risk individuals
  • To assess progression of renal disease
  • To support diagnosis of kidney disorders
