About this test
The Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio (Random Urine) test measures albumin and creatinine levels in a single urine sample to detect early kidney damage.

The Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio (Random Urine) test is a diagnostic test used to measure small amounts of albumin in urine and compare it with creatinine levels in a single (random) urine sample. This ratio helps in accurately assessing kidney function without the need for a 24-hour urine collection.

Albumin is a protein that is normally present in very small amounts in urine. Increased levels may indicate early kidney damage, especially in individuals with diabetes or hypertension.

The purpose of the Microalbumin / Creatinine Ratio (Random Urine) Test is to

  • To measure microalbumin and creatinine levels in urine
  • To detect early signs of kidney damage
  • To monitor kidney function in diabetic patients
  • To assess risk of chronic kidney disease
  • To evaluate protein leakage in urine
