WHO IS THIS TEST FOR?

KIDNEYS ALBUMIN TEST is aimed at anyone who wants to verify the presence of albumin in the urine outside the norm.

 

The presence of this protein in the urine can be an early indicator of possible kidney damage. People who chronically have small measurable amounts of albumin in their urine are at increased risk of developing progressive renal dysfunction and cardiovascular disease.
