Hi, Savita this side I got to know that my father has detected elevated microalbumin in Kidney due to Diabetis, pleaze tell me some precuation. According to the net, range should be 20 n my father report has detected 32.5 pleaze advise something asap.
Hi, Thanks for writing in. By definition, it corresponds to an albumin excretion rate of 20 to 200 micro/min (30 to 300 mg/day) or an albumin to creatinine ratio (mg/MML) of 2.5 to 25 in males and 3.5 to 35 in females. Microalbuminuria is an important clinical finding because it is not only associated with an increased risk of progression to overt proteinuria (macroalbuminuria) and renal failure, but also cardiovascular events. A stricter control of diabetes and any heart disease is required, and please follow up regularly with your doctor.
