The Microalbumin Urine Test is a simple yet powerful tool to detect early signs of kidney damage, especially in people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or a family history of kidney disease.The test checks for microalbumin, a small amount of the protein albumin in your urine. Normally, healthy kidneys prevent albumin from leaking into the urine. However, when the kidneys are stressed or beginning to fail — often due to diabetes, high blood pressure, or other chronic conditions — tiny amounts of albumin start to slip through. This early leakage is a red flag, signaling that it’s time to act before more serious kidney damage occurs.This test is quick, non-invasive, and often performed using  urine sample. It’s highly recommended for individuals at risk of kidney problems, as it can catch issues before symptoms appear — allowing for timely treatment, lifestyle changes, and prevention of further damage.
