URINARY MICROALBUMIN

The urinary microalbumin test measures the level of albumin, a type of protein, in the urine. Elevated urinary microalbumin levels can indicate early kidney damage, particularly in individuals with diabetes or hypertension. This test is used to diagnose and monitor kidney disease, assess the severity of damage, and guide treatment decisions. The urinary microalbumin test provides valuable information for managing kidney health, ensuring timely intervention, and preventing complications associated with kidney dysfunction.
