About This Test
The Urinary Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio (MAU) test measures the ratio of albumin (mg) to creatinine (g or mmol) in a spot urine sample.
It is a convenient and accurate alternative to the 24-hour urinary microalbumin test, as it corrects for variations in urine concentration by comparing albumin excretion to creatinine output.
Microalbuminuria (MAU) indicates early glomerular damage, particularly in diabetic and hypertensive nephropathy, and serves as a predictor of renal and cardiovascular disease.
