The ACR Test is a urine test used to assess the albumin-to-creatinine ratio for detecting early signs of kidney damage. The test needs a single sample of urine and you can provide the sample at any time without any preparation.
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.
Pathofast Lab Pune is a safe and reliable and top rated lab providing accurate reports for a variety of blood tests in Pune.

The normal range of the Urine ACR Test is < 30 mg/g. The following table shows the different ranges and what they mean
ACR (mg/g) | Level of Proteinuria |
---|---|
< 30 | Normal to mildly increased |
30–300 | Moderately increased (microalbuminuria) |
> 300 | Severely increased (macroalbuminuria) |
Test | Description | Normal Range |
---|---|---|
Urine Albumin | Amount of albumin in urine | < 30 mg/day |
Urine Creatinine | Amount of creatinine in urine | 500–2000 mg/day (adult) |
Urine Albumin-Creatinine Ratio (ACR) | Ratio of albumin to creatinine in spot urine | < 30 mg/g |
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.
An ACR Test is performed by analyzing a urine sample to measure the albumin-to-creatinine ratio, which helps assess kidney function.
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.
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.
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.
