Albumin, Urine Spot

Description

The Albumin Urine Spot test measures the amount of albumin in a single urine sample. This test is a convenient and quick method for screening kidney function and detecting early signs of kidney damage. It’s particularly useful in monitoring patients with diabetes, hypertension, or other conditions that put them at risk for kidney disease. While not as comprehensive as the 24-hour urine test, the spot test provides valuable information for initial assessment and routine monitoring. Elevated levels of albumin in a spot urine sample can indicate the need for further testing or intervention to protect kidney health.
