The Kidney Health Test detects the qualitative levels
of albuminuria in urine through an in vitro diagnostic test.
It is used as a supplementary method in the diagnosis
of chronic kidney injury (CKI).
Microalbuminuria (MAU) is a term to describe a moderate
increase in the level of urine albumin. It is also named urine
microalbuminuria (UMA or mALB). Albumin is a normal protein
in the blood, but under physiological conditions it can be
detected in small amounts in the urine. MAU occurs when the
kidney leaks small amounts of albumin into the urine, which
means that increased excretion of albumin (microalbuminuria)
is an early indicator of glomerular disease. Research shows that
MAU can be caused by diabetic nephropathy, hypertension,
and cardiac insufficiency.
