Albumin Urine Test with Creatinine

This test evaluates kidney function by measuring the levels of albumin and creatinine in a urine sample. Albumin is a protein that should normally be retained by healthy kidneys. When detected in urine, even in small amounts (microalbuminuria), it may indicate early kidney damage, particularly from diabetes or high blood pressure. The inclusion of creatinine provides context for urine concentration, improving result accuracy. Clinicians use this test to detect kidney disease before symptoms develop, monitor chronic conditions, and guide ongoing treatment. It offers essential insight into renal health and long-term kidney management.
