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.
High blood pressure. If you have high blood pressure, your doctor may also screen you for kidney damage using the microalbuminuria test. High blood pressure can cause damage to the vessels of the kidney, resulting in the release of albumin into the urine. Testing for albumin should occur at regular intervals.
