What is a Urine Microalbumin Test?

A urine microalbumin test is a simple laboratory test that detects very small amounts of a protein called albumin in your urine. This test uses a urine sample to check how well your kidneys are working. The test helps detect early signs of kidney damage, particularly diabetic nephropathy, often before you experience any symptoms. It serves as an early warning system for kidney disease.

Frequently asked questions

Find quick answers to the most common questions about health tests, bookings, and reports.

The first morning urine sample is considered best because it's more concentrated and provides stable readings. However, you can collect a random sample anytime if your doctor prefers spot testing.

No, fasting is not required for this test. You can eat and drink normally before providing your urine sample, unless other tests requiring fasting are ordered simultaneously.

Yes, dehydration can concentrate your urine and potentially increase albumin levels artificially. The albumin-to-creatinine ratio helps correct for concentration differences, making results more reliable despite hydration variations.

No special diet changes are needed. Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours before testing. Inform your doctor about all medications and supplements, as some may influence results.
