Normal daily (24 hour) urine albumin excretion is less than 30 mg in adults. If the 24 hour urine albumin excretion results are between 30-300 mg it becomes defined as microalbuminuria (MAU). This may occur with kidney damage arising from diabetes mellitus. Microalbuminuria is a term to describe a moderate increase in the level of urine albumin. It occurs when the kidney leaks small amounts of albumin into the urine, in other words, when there is an abnormally high permeability for albumin in the glomerulus of the kidney. A ratio of albumin (mcg/L) to creatinine (mg/L) of less than 30 is normal; a ratio of 30-300 signifies microalbuminuria and values above 300 are considered as macroalbuminuria. On a standard urine dipstick, 10-20 mg/dL is the minimal detection limit of protein. Your Report is normal.
