About This Test
A microalbumin test checks urine for the presence of a protein called albumin. A microalbumin test is used to detect early signs of kidney damage. Normally, the kidneys work to filter waste products, water, and other chemicals from the blood and send them to the bladder where they are excreted in the form of urine. In the earliest stage of diabetic nephropathy, abnormally large amounts of blood flow through the nephrons, the tiny filters within the kidneys. This condition is known as hyper filtration. Due to hyper filtration there is leakage of proteins in the urine from the kidney cells. One such protein is albumin.Proteinuria is the presence of protein in the urine. Most proteins are too large to pass through the glomeruli into the urine. But when the glomeruli are damaged, proteins of various sizes pass through them and are excreted in the urine. This will create a condition called microalbuminuria.
It can also occur in patients with long-standing diabetes, especially Type 1 diabetes.To compensate for variations in urine concentration it is more typical to compare the amount of albumin in the sample against its concentration of creatinine. This is termed the albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) and microalbuminuria may be defined with both substances measured by mass.
