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.
These levels were gender-specific and noted to be â¥3.9 mg/g cr for men and â¥7.5 mg/g cr for women (1). A persistent microalbumin of >30 mg/g cr indicates a loss in kidney function and is used in the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (2). (References: 1-Arnlov et al. Circulation 2005; 112:969-975.
