What It Measures

This test checks for two things in your pee: a protein called albumin and a waste product called creatinine. It helps your doctor understand how well your kidneys are doing their job.

Why It's Ordered

Your doctor orders this test to look for early signs of kidney problems. This is especially true if you have diabetes or high blood pressure.

Reference Range

Reference ranges for uACR can vary depending on the laboratory that performs the test. Your doctor will interpret your results based on these specific ranges and your overall health.
