Diabetic nephropathy: you most likely have diabetic nephropathy . You need to see a nephrologist ( kidney specialist) and need to be started on medications to minimize kidney damage from diabetes

Q: random urine chemistry:-urine creatinine=10.5mmol/l..acr (microalbumin//creatinine ratio=1.0mg/mmol is it ok ?

You're okay: Microalbuminuria is usually considered present when it's &gt;2.5 for a man, 3.5 for a woman.

Q: good or bad? creatinine, urine 292.9 (no ref range provided) however my microalbumin/creatinine and microalbumin, was completely normal.

Microalbuminuria: As long as your microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio is normal (less than 30), then you're considered normal, at least no microalbuminuria. This is standard screening for those w/diabetes. ACE inhibitors &amp; ARBs (blood pressure drugs) can lower risk of developing kidney failure. So can optimal sugar control (aiming for A1c less than 7). Other way to assess kidney function is eGFR calculated from creati

Q: creatinine urine total and microalbumin ttl are normal but microalbumin/creatine is high 41.5mg (normal is below 30) what does this mean?

See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, it would have helped to have the raw numbers. If the ratio is high due to low creatinine, that is not a problem.

Q: my boyfriends random urine test says he has 832.8 ug/ml for microalbumin. i can't find any sites to explain this number. what does this mean?

Urine Microalbumin: People sometimes have microalbumin or protein in their urine when checked. This could be caused by different things that bother the kidneys like diabetes or high blood pressure. It would be a good idea for someone to follow-up with their doctor if there is microalbumin in their urine.

Question 1

is microalbumin urine at level of 20.5 considered okay.

Accepted Answer

Yes.  : This would be considered normal.

Question 2

can lithium cause microalbumin in urine?

Accepted Answer

Possibly, but rare: However that behooves us to be vigilant, check lithium levels often and keep a close follow up with the treating physician, wish you well

Question 3

what does a high microalbumin urine blood result indicate?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: Elevated urine microalbumin suggests some kidney tissue damage like that from diabetic or hypertensive nephropathy, autoimmune kidney diseases like lupus, drug-induced interstitial nephritis, etc. Yet, its finding should be correlated with other tests like serum creatinine, BUN, GFR, microalbumin/cratinine urine ration, etc. as well as clinical profile. More? Ask your nephrologist or PCP... Best..

Question 4

can the urine microalbumin test technically ever be low? isn't a value of anything less than 30 (including 0) technically considered to be normal?

Accepted Answer

Microalbuminemia: You are correct. Many tests do not have a lower level of values that are below normal, either because of the limits of detection, or because their presence is itself abnormal, and microalbumin in theurine is among these.

Question 5

my microalbumin/creat ratio is 29.9, my microalbumin, rand urine is 8.5, and my creatine, ur rand is 284. can you tell me what that means and what i s?

Accepted Answer

Kidney function test: If you are checking microalbumin, I presumeyou have diabetes. This is one of our most sensitive tests for diabetic kidney damage.  Yours is pretty good at this time
