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.
What is it? Prealbumin is a protein in the body and can be measured with a blood test. This protein tells about nutritional status. Prealbumin testing must be done if you are in the hospital to make sure you are not malnourished. Malnourished is when your diet does not meet the energy or growth needs of your body. Prealbumin levels also tell if you are responding to nutritional support.
