URINE FOR SPOT ALBUMIN / CREATININE RATIO

Within spot urine samples, the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) emerges as a vital parameter for assessing kidney function. A normal UACR is typically below 30 mg/g, with distinct variations based on gender. Men generally exhibit a normal UACR value of less than or equal to 17 mg/g, while women often present slightly higher levels, typically around 25 mg/g. Notably, a UACR falling between 30 and 300 mg/g in spot urine signifies the presence of microalbuminuria—a condition indicating heightened albumin levels and prompting the need for closer monitoring of kidney health. Regular evaluation of UACR levels is integral for Hypro Diagnostics, offering valuable insights into renal function and facilitating the early identification of potential issues.
