What is Albumin Creatinine Ratio?

The Albumin Creatinine Ratio (ACR) test measures the amount of albumin (a protein) and creatinine (a waste product) in your urine. It's a key indicator for checking your kidney function and detecting early signs of kidney damage.

Why is this test important?

This test is especially important for individuals with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease. It helps monitor kidney health and allows for early intervention to prevent further kidney damage.

How to Prepare

A first-morning urine sample is often preferred for this test.
