Microalbumin Test In Chennai
Starts from 380*
Albumin is a protein that your body uses for tissue growth and repair. If your kidneys aren’t working as they should, the protein albumin starts leaking into your urine.
A urine microalbumin test in Chennai is done to detect very small levels of blood protein in your urine and identify early signs of kidney damage in people who are at risk. Microalbumin tests are usually recommended for people with an increased risk of kidney diseases like people with diabetes or high blood pressure.
This test helps spot kidney issues before they get out of hand.

AN OVERVIEW
About Microalbumin Test
Why is the Microalbumin Test done?
Your doctor may recommend a urine microalbumin test if they suspect any early signs of kidney damage. Receiving treatment at the right time might help prevent issues from escalating. How often you need microalbumin tests completely depends on any underlying conditions, for instance:
- Type 1 diabetes. If you happen to have type 1 diabetes, your doctor may recommend a microalbumin test once a year beginning five years after your diagnosis.
- Type 2 diabetes. With type 2 diabetes, your doctor may recommend a microalbumin test once a year beginning immediately after your diagnosis.
- High blood pressure. With high blood pressure, your doctor may recommend microalbumin tests more regularly. Discuss with your doctor how often you need to repeat this test.
What does the Microalbumin Test measure?
The Microalbumin Test measures the albumin content in urine, to detect kidney disease since early diagnosis of the disease has a higher probability of being treated successfully.
However, small amounts of albumin usually don’t reflect during regular urine tests, and thus this test is used to look for any spikes or fall in the albumin levels, to note the chances of diabetes and similar conditions.
Patients with diabetes are therefore recommended to get a Microalbumin test once a year, after being diagnosed with the condition.
Risk/side effects of Microalbumin Test
Misleading results are one of the main concerns and risks involved with getting a Microalbumin Test at home. It is important to understand that a single medical test result showing Microalbumin does not necessarily mean that you have a problem with your kidneys. Your doctor might require a few different urine tests showing Microalblumin over a couple of months before they can even officially diagnose you with it.

THINGS TO KNOW AFTER GETTING TESTED
Interpreting the Microalbumin Test results
Interpreting Microalbumin Test results
A person’s Microalbumin test results may differ according to their age, gender, health and method opted for the test.
The results for the amount of microalbumin are shown in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL). The results for ACR are given in milligrams per gram (mg/g).
- MA: 0.2 to 1.9 mg/dL
- ACR: 0 to 30 mg/g
However, if your results show a tiny amount of albumin, you may have to repeat the test with a 24-hour urine sample to confirm the results. On the other hand, a moderate amount of albumin could reflect early stages of kidney disease and also means you are at a higher risk for heart disease.
| Amount of Albumin | Result |
| Less that 30mg | NORMAL |
| 30-300 mg | Early Kidney Disease |
| More than 300mg | Advanced Kidney Disease/Heart Disease |
