Microalbumin (Spot Urine) Test – Short Description:

The microalbumin (spot urine) test measures the amount of albumin in a single urine sample, providing a quick screening for early signs of kidney damage. Elevated microalbumin levels can indicate kidney dysfunction, especially in individuals with diabetes or hypertension. Unlike the 24-hour urine test, the spot urine test offers a more convenient, less time-consuming method for detecting abnormal protein levels, aiding in the early diagnosis and monitoring of kidney health.
