Microalbumin / Creatinine Ratio Urine Spot Test in Jaipur

What Does a Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio Test Measure in Jaipur?

This test evaluates your kidney health by examining specific substances in your urine:

• Microalbumin levels: Small amounts of albumin protein that healthy kidneys should not allow to pass from blood into urine.
• Creatinine concentration: A normal waste product filtered by the kidneys at a fairly constant rate.
• Albumin-to-creatinine ratio: This calculation corrects for urine concentration variations, making results more reliable.
• Early kidney damage detection: Identifies microalbuminuria before symptoms develop.
• Kidney function assessment: Monitors how well your kidneys are filtering waste and retaining important proteins.

Who Should Consider a Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio Test?

This screening test is particularly important for individuals who have high health risks of developing kidney disease:

• People with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes: Recommended annually, as diabetes is a leading cause of kidney damage.
• Individuals with high blood pressure: Hypertension can damage the kidney blood vessels over time.
• Those with a family history of kidney disease: Genetic factors may increase your risk.
• Adults over 60 years: Age increases the likelihood of kidney problems.
• People with heart disease: Cardiovascular conditions often affect kidney health.
• Individuals with autoimmune disorders: Certain health conditions can impact kidney function.

What Is the Purpose of a Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio Test?

The primary purpose of this test is early detection of kidney damage when treatment can be most effective. Early identification allows for lifestyle changes and medical interventions that can slow down or even prevent progression to serious kidney failure. The test also helps monitor kidney disease progression, assess cardiovascular disease risk, and support clinical decisions for nephropathy treatment.
