urinealbuminecreatinine
Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, often abbreviated as UACR, is a laboratory test used to estimate the amount of albumin present in a urine sample. Albumin is a protein that is normally found in the blood and is filtered by the kidneys. Elevated levels of albumin in the urine, a condition known as albuminuria or proteinuria, can be an early indicator of kidney damage.
The UACR test measures both albumin and creatinine in a single urine sample. Creatinine is a waste
A normal UACR is generally considered to be less than 30 milligrams of albumin per gram of
