If the glomerular apparatus of the kidneys begins to become damaged, small amounts of albumin can leak into the urine.<\/p>\n<p>Microalbumin testing helps detect such changes at an early stage, when other signs of kidney dysfunction may not yet be present.<\/p>\n<h3>When is the test prescribed?<\/h3>\n<p>The test may be recommended by a doctor for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>early assessment of kidney damage in diabetes;<\/li>\n<li>monitoring kidney condition in case of arterial hypertension;<\/li>\n<li>risk assessments <a title=\"Immunogenetic marker of susceptibility to the development of ankylosing spondylitis (Bekhterev&#039;s disease) and other seronegative spondyloarthropathies (HLA-B27)\" href=\"https:\/\/medilab.km.ua\/en\/analysis\/autoimmune\/immunogenetic-marker-of-susceptibility-to-the-development-of-ankylosing-spondyloarthritis-byehtyarev-39-s-disease-and-other-seronegative-spondyloarthropathies-hla-b27\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"193\">development or progression of a chronic disease<\/a> kidneys;<\/li>\n<li>monitoring the condition of patients with kidney diseases;<\/li>\n<li>assessment of treatment effectiveness;<\/li>\n<li>comprehensive examination with other risk factors for kidney damage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>How to take the test<\/h3>\n<p>The method of urine collection depends on the prescribed test option - it can be a single urine sample or a daily urine sample.<\/p>\n<p>If necessary, collect <strong>daily urine<\/strong>, the first morning portion must be flushed down the toilet. All subsequent portions during the day, night, and the morning portion of the next day are collected in one container.<\/p>\n<p>For example, if the collection started at <strong>6:00<\/strong>, the first portion at 6:00 is not collected, and all subsequent portions are collected until 6:00 the next day inclusive.<\/p>\n<p>Daily urine should be stored at a temperature <strong>+4\u2026+8 \u00b0C<\/strong>, in a cool place, protected from sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>After collection, all urine must be mixed, identified, and labeled. <strong>total daily volume<\/strong>. If required by a specific study, the volume of fluid consumed during the day is also indicated.<\/p>\n<h3>What can affect the result?<\/h3>\n<p>The level of albumin in the urine may temporarily increase after intense physical exertion, with infections, elevated body temperature, significant increases in blood pressure, and some other conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, a single abnormal result does not always mean that kidney disease is present. If necessary, your doctor may recommend a repeat test.<\/p>\n<h3>Microalbumin and diabetes<\/h3>\n<p>In people with diabetes, regular monitoring of albumin in the urine can help detect early signs of kidney damage.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Allergy blood test: types of tests, preparation and interpretation of results\" href=\"https:\/\/medilab.km.ua\/en\/blood-test-for-allergies-types-of-tests-preparation-and-interpretation-of-results\/\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"194\">The result is evaluated together with the blood glucose level.<\/a>, kidney function indicators, blood pressure and other data.<\/p>\n<h3>Importantly<\/h3>\n<p>The result of the analysis must be evaluated comprehensively. You should not independently establish a diagnosis based on the level of microalbumin.
