What is a "urine microalbumin test"?
A urine microalbumin test is a procedure that measures the amount of a protein called albumin in the urine. Albumin is normally found in the blood, but when the kidneys are damaged or not functioning properly, small amounts of it can pass into the urine. This test helps to identify early signs of kidney problems, particularly in people with conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. By identifying high levels of albumin, the test can help in monitoring kidney health and choosing an appropriate treatment to prevent further damage.
