The Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio (24 Hrs Urine) test is a diagnostic test used to detect small amounts of albumin (a type of protein) in urine and compare it with creatinine levels. This ratio helps in accurately assessing kidney function and detecting early signs of kidney damage.
Normally, only very small amounts of albumin are present in urine. Elevated levels may indicate early kidney disease, particularly in individuals with diabetes or high blood pressure.
A 24-hour urine collection provides a more comprehensive assessment of albumin excretion over a full day, improving diagnostic accuracy. This test is important for early detection, monitoring progression, and guiding treatment of kidney disorders.
The purpose of the Microalbumin / Creatinine Ratio (24 Hrs Urine) Test is to
- To measure microalbumin and creatinine levels in urine
- To detect early kidney damage
- To monitor kidney function in diabetic patients
- To assess risk of chronic kidney disease
- To evaluate protein leakage in urine
Tests Preparation :
The Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio (24 Hrs Urine) test measures small amounts of albumin in urine along with creatinine to assess early kidney damage, especially in diabetic patients.
