Reasons to get a ACR Test in Pune (Albumin Creatinine Ratio Test)View All
An ACR Test detects kidney disease early by measuring albumin-to-creatinine ratio in urine. Normally albumin (proteins) are present in very low or almost zero quantity in urine. Creatinine is normally present in a fixed amount in urine. In diseases like hypertension and diabetes, kidneys are damaged and this causes proteins to leak into the urine. This test allows us to measure small quantities of protein and find kidney damage early.
- High Blood Pressure : Detects early signs of kidney disease or damage, due to high blood pressure.
- Diabetes : Helps find kidney damage in diabetics early on..
- Kidney Proteins : Helps to further evaluate high protein levels in urine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ACR Test and what does it measure?
An ACR Test, or Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio test, measures the amount of albumin (a type of protein) in the urine compared to the level of creatinine. Normally a very low quantity of albumin is present in the urine. In case of hypertension(increased blood pressure) or diabetes, the kidney gets damaged and releases proteins into the urine. This test can measure these proteins and help to know about kidney damage.
How is an ACR Test performed?
An ACR Test is performed by analyzing a urine sample to measure the albumin-to-creatinine ratio, which helps assess kidney function.
Why is ratio of albumin to creatinine measured?
The urine normally contains a fixed amount of creatinine. The level of albumin should normally be very low or almost zero. By measuring the ratio, we eliminate mild variations in albumin or creatinine and are able to get a standardized result, comparable across different labs. We also do not need to collect early morning sample, 24 hour sample and the patient doesnt need any special preparation for this test.
What does a high Urine ACR level indicate?
A high level of urine ACR ratio (> 30) indicates that your kidneys are getting damaged due to high blood pressure or diabetes or both. This damage is initially reversible with treatment. Later on it becomes irreversible.
How should I prepare for an ACR Test?
To prepare for an ACR Test, ensure you collect a clean-catch midstream urine sample, typically in the morning, and follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
