Microalbumin Urine Test – Early Detection of Kidney Disease in Slough
What is Microalbumin?
Microalbumin refers to very small protein molecules, specifically albumin, that may appear in urine when the kidneys are not functioning properly. Under healthy conditions, albumin is either absent or found in only trace amounts in urine.
Why Test for Microalbumin?
Elevated microalbumin levels in urine can be an early indicator of kidney damage, particularly in individuals with:
Diabetes mellitus
High blood pressure (hypertension)
Chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Detecting microalbuminuria at an early stage can help prevent further progression of kidney disease and reduce the risk of complications.
