Microalbumin/Albumin Creatinine Ratio Urine Test
Introduction
The Microalbumin/Albumin Creatinine Ratio Urine Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to evaluate kidney function and detect early signs of kidney damage. This test is particularly important for individuals who are at risk of developing kidney disorders, such as those with diabetes or hypertension. By measuring the levels of microalbumin and creatinine in urine, healthcare providers can gain insight into kidney health and function.
