What is this Test About?
The term Microalbuminuria is misleading as it implies a small version of albumin molecule rather than an excretion rate of albumin greater than normal but less than that detected by routine method. It is recommended to use term Albuminuria or Albumin Creatinine ratio (ACR) instead of Microalbuminuria. Albumin excretion rate (AER)/24 hours microalbumin/albumin in urine is a sensitive and specific measure of kidney damage. Urinalysis for albuminuria has been accepted as a useful way of identifying patients at risk of progressive Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) and its classification. Increased urinary albumin excretion is highly predictive of Diabetic Nephropathy, End-stage renal disease, Cardiovascular mortality, and total mortality in patients with Diabetes Mellitus.
