Microalbumin (24-Hour Urine) Test – Short Description:

The microalbumin (24-hour urine) test measures the amount of albumin (a protein) excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. Elevated levels of microalbumin may indicate early kidney damage, particularly in individuals with diabetes or hypertension. It helps detect kidney problems before they become more severe, allowing for early intervention to prevent further damage. The test is commonly used to monitor kidney function in at-risk patients.
