Product detailed description
The albumin and creatinine test in urine is a laboratory test used to evaluate kidney function and detect potential kidney damage or disease. Albumin is a protein that should not normally be present in significant amounts in the urine. Its presence may indicate kidney issues, such as nephropathy. Creatinine, a waste product of muscle metabolism, is measured alongside to assess the kidneys' filtration function. The albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) provides a more accurate indicator of kidney health, as it correlates the amount of protein with the amount of creatinine, compensating for variations in urine concentration. This test is particularly important for individuals with diabetes mellitus or hypertension, as they are at higher risk of developing kidney disease.
