Description
The Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio test measures the amount of albumin (a protein) in your urine compared to creatinine, a waste product from muscle metabolism. This ratio is an important indicator of kidney health and can detect early signs of kidney damage, especially in individuals with diabetes or high blood pressure. Elevated microalbumin levels can signal kidney disease before significant damage occurs.
Why Itโs Important:
-
Early Detection of Kidney Damage: Helps identify nephropathy in its early stages.
-
Monitor High-Risk Patients: Essential for individuals with diabetes, hypertension, or other conditions affecting kidney function.
-
Guide Treatment: Provides actionable information to prevent progression of kidney disease.
Convenient Testing Options:
No doctorโs visit is required. You can use at-home urine collection or visit our Patient Service Center (PSC) in Central Florida. Nationwide testing is available for patients outside Florida, giving you access to essential kidney health screening wherever you are.
