When a patient has high blood pressure or diabetes or both (often at the same time), changes in the kidney's blood vessels alter the way the kidney filters proteins (especially albumin), which allow proteins to leak into the urine. Microalbuminuria is an early sign of diabetic nephropathy.
Microalbuminuria is also a sign of changes in the entire vascular system and can be considered a "window" for arterial disease because it is an early indication of changes in the kidney and cardiovascular system.
Under the normal condition of human metabolism, the albumin in urine is very little, specific to the albumin per liter of urine does not exceed 20mg (<20mg/L), so it is called microalbumin. If the microalbumin in urine is found in the range of 20mg/L-200mg/L after physical examination, it belongs to microalbuminuria, if the patient can go through the standard repair nephron, reverse fibrosis treatment, still can completely repair glomerulus, eliminate albuminuria, urine routine urine protein display is negative (-) or (+-). And when the trace albumin in urine more than 200mg/L, it should be noticed, at this time it is proved that patients with kidney disease have a large amount of albumin leakage, may appear hypoproteinemia, kidney development is only one step away from irreversible stage, urine routine test urine protein positive (+) ~ (+++), if not timely treatment, will enter the uremia stage.
Singclean Microalbuminuria Rapid Test Kit is a rapid visual immuno-assay for the qualitative, presumptive detection of microalbuminin urine. The test used as a supplementary method in the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy and other renal damage. MAU occurs when the kidney leaks small amounts of albumin into the urine.
