About test
What does Urine -Albumin measure?
This test measures the amount of albumin, a protein, in urine. Small amounts of urine albumin may be an early sign of changes in kidney filtration. It may be used to help assess kidney health, especially in people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or other conditions that can affect the kidneys. Results are interpreted along with medical history, symptoms, and other kidney tests.
