24 HOUR URINE ALBUMIN (In Nashik)

Overview

The 24-Hour Urine Albumin Test measures the total amount of albumin, a vital protein made by the liver, excreted in the urine over 24 hours. Normally, kidneys prevent albumin from passing into the urine, but when they are damaged or stressed, small or large amounts of this protein can leak out.

This test helps assess kidney function, especially in people with diabetes, high blood pressure, or other conditions that may affect kidney health.

Why is the 24-Hour Urine Albumin Test Important?

Your kidneys act as filters that keep essential proteins like albumin in the bloodstream while removing waste. When the kidneys are not working properly, albumin leaks into the urine, which can indicate kidney damage or nephropathy.

This test is essential for:

1. Detecting early kidney damage in people with diabetes or hypertension

2. Monitoring kidney function in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD)

3. Evaluating protein loss due to infection, inflammation, or autoimmune disease

4. Assessing treatment progress in individuals undergoing kidney therapy

Detecting albumin early helps doctors slow down or even prevent further kidney damage through proper management.

Benefits of the 24-Hour Urine Albumin Test

1. Early Detection of Kidney Disease: Identifies albuminuria before major kidney function loss occurs.

2. Accurate Evaluation: Measures the total albumin excreted in 24 hours for precise assessment.

3. Guides Treatment Decisions: Helps doctors plan medication, diet, and lifestyle changes.

4. Prevents Complications: Useful for managing diabetes-related kidney damage (diabetic nephropathy).

5. Non-Invasive and Safe: Requires only urine collection, no blood sample needed.

At Diagnopein, we ensure your test is processed under strict quality control with rapid turnaround and professional guidance.

How is the 24-Hour Urine Albumin Test Done?

This test requires you to collect all urine over a 24-hour period. It’s a simple process but must be followed carefully for accurate results.

Steps:

1. Collection Kit: You’ll receive a special sterile container from Diagnopein.

2. Start the Collection:

   • On day one, discard your first morning urine.

   • Collect all subsequent urine for the next 24 hours, including the first sample the next morning.

3. Storage: Keep the container in a cool place or refrigerator throughout the day.

4. Avoid Intense Exercise & Certain Foods: Follow your doctor’s advice before and during the collection.

5. Submit the Sample: Return the container to Diagnopein’s lab after 24 hours for analysis.

Results are generally available within 24–48 hours and interpreted by your doctor alongside other kidney function tests.

Parameters Measured

1. Albumin in Urine (mg/24 hours)

2. Creatinine (optional, for ratio comparison)

Normal Range:

1. Less than 30 mg/24 hours: Normal

2. 30–300 mg/24 hours: Microalbuminuria (early kidney disease)

3. More than 300 mg/24 hours: Macroalbuminuria (significant kidney damage)

High levels may indicate diabetic nephropathy, glomerulonephritis, hypertension-related kidney injury, or chronic kidney disease.
