Do you need to fast for a microalbuminuria test?

No: Microalbuminuria is the presence of small amounts of protein in the urine, usually too small to note on a dipstick test. A trace amount of protein can be normal, but usually there is none. The most common cause of m is diabetes mellitus; it usually indicates that the dm has started to affect your kidneys. Once this happens, take things more seriously: talk with your pcp and consider endocrinology.

Good afternoon doctors. My microalbuminuria was 22 last August, 2021. Yesterday it went up to 27. From what I see, below 30 is normal, but is this increase in only 7 months concerning and worrisome?
