Test Overview
Albumin is a protein component that is important for cell repairing and system functions. Normally, the kidneys filter the blood and help remove the waste products through urine and retain the important components especially proteins such as albumin. When there is an impairment in kidney functions, albumin escape the blood and are excreted in the urine. Creatinine is a waste product normally found in the urine. Albumin levels tend to vary during the day and based on certain foods consumed. Hence, the microalbumin levels are compared to the creatinine levels and their ratio thus gives a better idea about the kidney function.
The primary protein in the blood is albumin. Little filters stop big albumin molecules from exiting your body in urine when healthy kidneys remove waste from your blood. Only a very small amount of albumin—or none at all—will typically pass through the filters. However, if the kidneys are compromised, more albumin may enter your urine.
The typical waste product is creatinine. It is seen in the urine. It is a result of the daily stress your muscles endure. You can assess how much albumin and creatinine are present in your urine. You can do this using a microalbumin creatinine ratio test. This is a more precise method of determining the albumin concentration in your urine.
The amount of albumin that enters your urine over the course of a 24-hour period may typically be estimated by your doctor using the findings from a solitary urine sample.
Albumin is an essential protein for maintaining healthy cells and bodily processes. Typically, the kidneys filter your blood, assist in eliminating wastes through urine, and keep the vital elements, particularly proteins like albumin. Albumin escapes circulation. It is secreted in the urine when kidney functions are compromised. A waste substance called creatinine is typically detected in urine. The amount of albumin in the blood can change throughout the day. It may depend on the meals eaten. As a result, the ratio between the amounts of microalbumin and creatinine provides a better understanding of renal function.
Who should do the Microalbumin / Creatinine Ratio Urine Spot test?
They are typically carried out for diagnosis if you exhibit any indications of potential kidney damage. Changes in the way you urinate, puffiness, and inexplicable itching are a few symptoms that may indicate kidney trouble. A urinary albumin analysis and other renal function tests might be carried out under these circumstances.

Albumin is a protein that is present in large amounts in the blood. When kidneys are functioning properly, only a tiny amount of albumin leaks through into the urine, less than 30 mg/day. In kidney failure (the last stage of a slow process of decline in kidney function), large amounts of protein are spilled into the urine
