What is Albumin creatinine ratio, Urine ?
The Albumin-Creatinine Ratio (ACR) test measures the amount of albumin (a protein) in urine relative to the level of creatinine. This test is a key indicator of kidney function and helps detect early signs of kidney damage, particularly in individuals with conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure. Albumin is normally retained in the bloodstream, but when the kidneys are damaged, small amounts of albumin can leak into the urine, a condition known as albuminuria. Doctors typically order the ACR test for individuals at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), especially those with diabetes, hypertension, or a family history of kidney problems. It is also used to monitor kidney function over time in patients with existing kidney conditions.
