A member asked:

What does a high microalbumin urine blood result indicate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. James Lin answered

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..
