The Microalbumin Test (24-Hour Urinary) is a diagnostic test used to measure the excretion of microalbumin, a type of protein, in urine collected over 24 hours. Albumin is a vital protein normally found in the blood, and its presence in urine in small amounts (microalbuminuria) can indicate early kidney damage.

This test is especially important for diabetic and hypertensive patients, as they are at increased risk of developing chronic kidney disease (CKD). Detecting albumin in urine at an early stage can prompt changes in treatment to prevent further kidney deterioration.


Why is the Test Done?

  • To detect early kidney damage in people with diabetes or hypertension.

  • To monitor the effectiveness of treatment in chronic kidney disease (CKD).

  • To screen for microalbuminuria, an early indicator of nephropathy.

  • To assess cardiovascular risk in individuals with metabolic disorders.

  • To evaluate kidney function over a prolonged period.


Who Should Get This Test?

  • Individuals with Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes.

  • People with high blood pressure (hypertension).

  • Patients with a family history of kidney disease.

  • Individuals with cardiovascular disease or at high risk for it.

  • Anyone showing signs of proteinuria on a routine urine test.


Microalbumin Test Procedure & Preparation:

  • Sample Type: 24-hour urine collection

  • Fasting Required: Not required

  • Preparation:

    • Collect all urine passed in 24 hours using a provided container.

    • Avoid vigorous exercise before the test.

    • Follow specific storage instructions during collection.

The total urine collected over 24 hours is analyzed for albumin content to detect microalbuminuria.


Understanding the Results:

  • Normal Range: Less than 30 mg/24 hours

  • Microalbuminuria: 30–300 mg/24 hours – suggests early kidney disease

  • Macroalbuminuria: Over 300 mg/24 hours – indicates more advanced kidney damage

Elevated results may warrant further testing or treatment adjustments to slow the progression of kidney disease.
