High microalbumin: Your microalbumin level is elevated indicating kidney damage. This test detects very small levels of a blood protein (albumin) in your urine. A microalbumin test is used to detect early signs of kidney damage in patients (esp diabetics and those w/ HTN). I tell my patients to think of their renal filter mesh getting shot-gunned by the damage & the holes allowing the microalbumin to flow through
