About This Test
The Urine Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio (UACR) helps correct for variations in urine concentration and provides a more accurate assessment of albumin excretion rate.
When performed on a 24-hour urine sample, it gives a precise estimate of total albumin loss per day.
Microalbuminuria refers to the presence of small but abnormal amounts of albumin in the urine, which cannot be detected by routine dipstick tests.
It serves as an early marker of kidney damage, especially in:
Diabetes mellitus (type 1 and type 2); Hypertension; Glomerular and cardiovascular disorders.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:

- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
