Why This Biomarker Matters
Albumin in urine is an early indicator of kidney damage. Catching this early allows your healthcare provider to intervene and prevent progression to kidney disease.
Overview
Albumin is a protein produced by the liver and normally found in very small amounts in body fluids like urine. Microalbumin testing detects trace levels of albumin in urine that aren't visible on standard tests. The presence of albumin in urine—called albuminuria—is an early warning sign of kidney damage. This can result from diabetes, high blood pressure, or other kidney disease. Regular albumin screening helps detect kidney problems before significant damage occurs, allowing for early intervention and management to slow or prevent progression.
