Albumin/Creatinine Ratio (ACR)
Test Name:
Albumin/Creatinine Ratio (ACR)Description:
The Albumin/Creatinine Ratio (ACR) test is a urine test used to check for early signs of kidney damage, especially in people with diabetes or high blood pressure.
- Albumin is a type of protein that should not be present in large amounts in urine.
- Creatinine is a waste product that your body normally removes through urine.
The ACR test compares the amount of albumin to creatinine in a urine sample. This helps doctors find even small amounts of protein leakage from the kidneys — an early sign that the kidneys might not be working properly.
