Overview
The urine microalbumin creatinine ratio (UMACR) is a test that measures the amount of albumin (a protein) in the urine. The test is performed by collecting a urine sample and measuring the levels of albumin and creatinine in the sample. The UMACR is used to detect early signs of kidney damage in patients with diabetes or high blood pressure. A UMACR value of less than 30 mgg is considered normal.
Who should do this test?
People with diabetes: Urine microalbumin creatinine ratio is an important test that should be done on people with diabetes, both type 1 and type 2, as it helps in detecting early signs of kidney damage.
People with high blood pressure: Individuals with high blood pressure are at an increased risk of developing kidney disease. Therefore, the urine microalbumin creatinine ratio test can help in monitoring kidney function and detecting early signs of kidney damage.
People with a family history of kidney disease: Individuals with a family history of kidney disease are at a higher risk of developing kidney problems. Therefore, it is recommended that they undergo regular urine tests, including the urine microalbumin creatinine ratio test, to monitor their kidney function and detect any signs of kidney damage.
What to do if the test is abnormal?
Consult with a healthcare provider: It is important to discuss the results of the Urine Microalbumin Creatinine Ratio (UMCR) with a healthcare provider, such as a physician or a nurse practitioner. They can evaluate the results in the context of the patients overall health and medical history and determine if any further testing or treatment is necessary.
Follow any recommended treatment plans: If the UMCR results indicate kidney damage, the healthcare provider may recommend lifestyle changes or medications to help protect and preserve kidney function. It is important to follow any recommended treatment plans to improve the chances of preventing further kidney damage.
Monitor kidney function regularly: Patients with abnormal UMCR results may need to have their kidney function monitored regularly with additional urine tests or blood tests. This can help detect any changes in kidney function and allow for early intervention if necessary.
