About this service

A precise chemical test to measure the albumin-to-creatinine ratio in a random urine sample. Microalbumin (small amounts of albumin) is considered the first indicator of nephropathy, especially in patients with diabetes and hypertension. This result precedes clinical symptoms by several years, making it an extremely important preventive tool.
