Additional info: | The measurement of albumin in urine is well established clinically as an indicator of renal function. Approximately fifty percent of human blood serum protein is albumin. Albumin (human serum) (HSA) has many important physiological functions including maintaining osmotic pressure, buffering pH of the blood, and the transport of hormones, fatty acids, and other molecules throughout the body. Elevated levels of albumin (microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria) in the urine are an indication of various disease states including diabetic nephropathy, non-diabetic kidney disease, and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Normal urinary HSA levels of adults are less than 30 microg albumin per mg of creatinine. Microalbuminuria is defined as 30-300 microg albumin per mg of creatinine and Macroalbuminuria is defined as albumin levels greater than 300 microg/mg. Cayman |
