Albumin/Creatinine
A microalbumin creatinine ratio urine test checks the levels of the protein albumin in your urine (pee). Abnormal amounts of this protein may be an early sign of kidney disease.
A microalbumin creatinine ratio test is most often used to look for signs of kidney disease in people who have a high risk of developing it but don't have symptoms.
