The Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio test evaluates the ratio of albumin to creatinine in urine, providing a sensitive measure for detecting early kidney damage and monitoring kidney health.
The Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio (UACR) Test is a critical diagnostic tool used to assess kidney function by measuring the amount of albumin (a type of protein) and creatinine in the urine. This test provides valuable insights into kidney health and can help identify early signs of kidney damage, particularly in individuals at risk for chronic kidney disease.
The UACR test is essential for detecting microalbuminuria, which is an early indicator of kidney damage often seen in people with diabetes or hypertension. By evaluating the ratio of albumin to creatinine, healthcare providers can more accurately assess kidney function than by measuring albumin alone, as this method accounts for variations in urine concentration. Timely detection of kidney issues can lead to earlier interventions and better management of underlying health conditions.
Individuals with diabetes: Regular screening is crucial for those managing diabetes to monitor potential kidney damage. Patients with hypertension: Those with high blood pressure should undergo this test to assess kidney function. People with risk factors: Individuals with a family history of kidney disease, obesity, or other related conditions should consider testing.

Elevated levels of albumin may indicate kidney damage or disease, necessitating further evaluation by a healthcare provider.
Typically, results are available within 24 hours of testing.
Consult your healthcare provider for an interpretation of the results and to discuss potential treatment options based on your overall health.
A urine sample is collected and analyzed to measure the concentrations of albumin and creatinine, calculating the ratio to assess kidney function.
