Remark<\/strong><\/td>

  • Microalbumin refers to micro amounts of albumin.<\/li>
  • The determination of microalbumin in urine is used for the early detection of glomerular damage. It allows to detect minor albumin losses that are not identified by conventional protein tests. It is a sensitive marker for early stages of renal disease and for systemic diseases involving the glomeruli (e.g. diabetes mellitus, hyperadrenocorticism in dogs<\/strong>, hypertension, infections such as leishmaniasis, inflammation).<\/li>
  • The test detects early signs of impaired glomerular filtration or endothelial damage even before creatinine or SDMA rise. Microalbumin may be transiently elevated (e.g. after physical exertion, fever, stress) or persistently (pathologically) elevated.<\/li>
  • In cats<\/strong>, microalbumin can be used as a supplementary parameter to the UPC ratio (see Protein\/Creatinine ratio) in hyperthyroidism and in monitoring the progression of CKD.<\/li>
  • Haematuria, pyuria or infections can cause falsely elevated results, hence the urinary sediment should also be evaluated. Urinary sediment must be requested as a separate test; if requested at the same time as the determination of microalbumin, an additional urine sample for the urine sediment must be supplied.<\/li><\/ul><\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
