About this test

The Microalbumin – Urine test measures small amounts of albumin in urine to detect early kidney damage, especially in individuals with diabetes or hypertension.

The Microalbumin – Urine test is a diagnostic test used to detect small amounts of albumin (a type of protein) in the urine. Normally, healthy kidneys prevent albumin from passing into urine, but early kidney damage can allow small quantities to leak.

This test is particularly important for early detection of kidney disease, especially in individuals with diabetes or high blood pressure. It helps identify kidney damage at an early stage, before it becomes more serious.

The purpose of the Microalbumin – Urine Test is to

  • To detect small amounts of albumin in urine
  • To identify early kidney damage
  • To monitor kidney function in diabetes and hypertension
  • To assess risk of kidney disease progression
  • To support early diagnosis of renal disorders
