What is MICROALBUMIN?

This urine test measures small amounts of albumin, a protein, in your urine. It's an important early indicator of potential kidney damage, often before other symptoms appear.

Why is this test important?

Detecting microalbumin helps in the early diagnosis and monitoring of kidney disease, especially for individuals with diabetes or high blood pressure. Early detection allows for timely intervention to protect kidney health.

How to Prepare

A first-morning urine sample is usually preferred. Your healthcare provider will provide specific collection instructions.

It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
