Microalbumin (Urine Random)

Microalbumin (Urine Random) is a renal screening test that measures small amounts of albumin in a single urine sample. It is widely used for early detection of kidney damage, especially in patients with diabetes and hypertension. Elevated urinary microalbumin levels may indicate early-stage diabetic nephropathy or vascular damage before noticeable changes appear in routine urine tests. This test offers a convenient alternative to 24-hour urine collection while still providing valuable information about kidney health. Regular monitoring helps assess disease progression and effectiveness of treatment, allowing timely interventions to protect renal function.
