Test Code

Microalbumin (24 Hour Urinary) is a renal function test that measures the amount of albumin excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Microalbuminuria is an early marker of kidney damage, particularly in patients with diabetes and hypertension. Detecting elevated urinary albumin at an early stage allows timely intervention to slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. This test helps evaluate renal health, monitor disease progression, and assess response to treatment. It is commonly recommended for individuals with long-standing diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, or suspected early kidney impairment.
