Albumin-to-creatinine-ratio (u) (Urine (u))

Specimens:	10 ml Urine (u)
includes following tests:	Creatinine (enzymatic) (U) (Urine (u)) Albumin 24h (u) (Urine (u))
Preanalytics/Notes:	10 ml of 24 h urine w/o additive (please state amount collected)
Method:	Nephelometry
Dimension:	mg/gCrea
Set-up:	Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun
Duration:	1 day
Indication/Significance:	Screening for (diabetic) nephropathy Screening in hypertonic patients Cases of increased permeability of glomerular capillaries (selective or inselective proteinuria) and abnormal tubular protein resorption
Interpretation:	Increases of 20 - 200 more… Increases of 20 - 200 mg/l are defined as microalbuminuria. A normal concentration rules out a renal parenchyma disease in all probability. A detected albuminuria is further differentiated by means of a quantitative determination of tubular or post-renal markers in the urine. close
Further tests:	Quantitative determination of total protein, albumin, IgG and alpha-1 microglobulin; SDS gel electrophoresis.
