That is the definition of microalbuminuria if persisted. Treatment for normalizing uACR depends on the ETIOLOGY. Give examples: obstructive apnea with obesity can cause microalbuminuria then losing weight + CPAP may be effectvie or if DM or/and HTN is/are present, optimal BP control with ACEi or ARB drug is required. Low animal protein intake is also effective for alleviating microalbuminuria.
