Albumin, Urine 24H

Description

The Albumin Urine 24H test measures the amount of albumin excreted in urine over a 24-hour period. This test is particularly important for detecting early signs of kidney damage, especially in conditions like diabetes. It’s more sensitive than standard urine dipstick tests for protein. Elevated levels of albumin in urine (albuminuria) can indicate kidney disease or damage to the kidney’s filtering system. This test is crucial for early detection and monitoring of kidney problems, allowing for timely intervention and management of conditions that affect kidney function.
