Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (uACR)
Ratio of urine albumin to creatinine used to detect and quantify albuminuria; an important marker of kidney damage and cardiovascular risk that should be confirmed when persistently abnormal.
What is measured?
The amount of albumin in urine relative to urine creatinine, which adjusts for urine concentration.
What the result represents?
Aden's range
What a raised or a low result can indicate
How Aden reads it as part of a system?
Aden reads this result alongside ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, eGFR and your previous measurements. It is treated as one part of the wider liver & kidney picture, not as a diagnosis on its own.
What changes between tests?
Which related markers give it context?
ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, eGFR
