Why This Biomarker Matters

Even trace amounts of albumin in urine signal early kidney disease. Detecting this early allows for timely treatment to slow progression and prevent serious kidney damage.

Overview

This test measures the ratio of albumin to creatinine in urine using a test strip. Albumin is a blood protein that normally shouldn't appear in urine; its presence suggests kidney damage or disease. By comparing it to creatinine (a waste product filtered by kidneys), this test corrects for variations in urine concentration. Even small amounts of albumin in urine (microalbuminuria) can be an early sign of kidney disease from diabetes or high blood pressure, prompting early intervention.
