What Does a uACR Test Measure in Lucknow?

The uACR test evaluates your kidney function by measuring specific substances in your urine:

• Creatinine levels: A waste product from muscle activity that the kidneys filter consistently.
• Albumin-to-creatinine ratio: Compares these two values to detect early kidney damage.
• Kidney filtering ability: Shows how well your kidneys are working as natural filters.
• Risk assessment: Identifies your likelihood of developing serious kidney problems.

• People with diabetes (Type 1 or Type 2) who need annual kidney monitoring.
• Individuals with high blood pressure that can damage the kidney blood vessels over time.

• Adults over 60 years who face higher kidney disease risks with age.
