Microalbuminuria: The causes of microalbuminuria include diabetes, hypertension, latent glomerulonephritis, inactive glomerulonephritis, IgA glomerulonephritis, toxic effects from NSAIDs or other meds, a latent allergic disease. A microalbumin/creatinine ratio of 40 is barely elevated (normal less than 30) -- so repeat it a few times.

Can be 'normal' if: sample given within 24 hrs. after exercise normal glucose/ insulin doesn't rule out diabetes; check Hga1c need urinalysis to look at sediment see MD
