Microalbumin test. Overview. A urine microalbumin test is a test to detect very small levels of a blood protein (albumin) in your urine. A microalbumin test is used to detect early signs of kidney damage in people who are at risk of developing kidney disease. Healthy kidneys filter waste from your blood and hang on to the healthy components, including proteins such as albumin.
Microalbuminuria is likely to be found in one-third or more of diabetic patients. Microalbuminuria is a risk factor for cardiovascular and renal disease. Antiangiotensin therapy and blood pressure control can reduce urine albumin levels and give renal protection.atients with diabetes are at risk of microalbuminuria if they have any of the following factors: Â· the urine albumin excretion is in the upper range of normal (20â30 mg/d); Â· the systolic blood pressure is greater than 130 mm Hg;
