Your kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products from the blood so they can be excreted in your urine. Kidney damage, caused by factors such as kidney disease or diabetes-related renal failure, interferes with proper function, which means that waste can’t be filtered and instead builds up inside your body. A microalbumin creatinine random urine test is a good diagnostic tool for monitoring your kidney health and discovering any potential problems early, so you can get the treatment you need.
This test measures microalbumin and creatinine. Microalbumin is a protein usually only present in urine when the kidneys have suffered damage. Creatinine is a waste product produced by the muscles that is normally excreted in your urine. Measuring the ratio of microalbumin to creatinine gives you a picture of your kidney health.
You may want a microalbumin lab test with creatinine as a preventive tool to spot kidney damage early if you have a family history of kidney issues. In addition, your physician may recommend it to monitor your health on a regular basis. If you have type 2 diabetes, your doctor may recommend annual testing; if you have type 1 diabetes, you may want to get tested five years after your diagnosis.
You don’t need to fast or follow other special instructions prior to your microalbumin creatinine ratio test. You will need to use a sterile container and follow the lab’s instructions for collecting your urine sample.
A result below 30 mg/g is typically considered normal. If your results are higher than that and you need expert medical guidance, contact Personalabs and we can help you set up a telehealth appointment with one of our board-certified physicians.
