If kidney hurt furth: Microalbuminuria – a urinary Albumin excretion (uae) between 20 and 200 g/min – identify subjects at increased risk of renal and cardiovascular disease.(macroalbuminuria) the increase of uae above 200 g/min (macroalbuminuria) heralds the onset of proteinuria (urinary protein excretion above 0.5 g/24 h) and progressive renal and cardiovascular disease. Albuminuria is due to metabolic syndrome.

Microalbumiinuria: This occurs when the kidney leaks small amounts of Albumin into the urine, when there is an abnormally high permeability for Albumin in renal glomerulus. It is a marker of vascular endothelial dysfunction and indicates subclinical cardiovascular disease.
