Microalbumin Testing: Understanding the Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio & Normal Ranges

Question
What is the name of the test or urinal profile that includes the microalbumin test? What are the normal ranges?

Answer
Hi Linda. Sometimes the microalbumin test is ordered alone and sometimes it's part of a profile called "Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio". I can't really give you a "univeral" normal range. The normal range will vary among different laboratories. Also, the units for reporting the result is different.
