Screening for albuminuria |
|---|
In this paper, the use of spot urine albumin concentration and urine albumin to creatinine excretion ratio for the detection of albuminuria in an Indo-Asian population in Pakistan was explored. The overall prevalence of albuminuria (30 mg/day or greater) measured in a 24h urine collection was 11.8%. It was concluded that both the urine albumin concentration and albumin to creatinine ratio are acceptable tests for population screening for albuminuria in Indo-Asians.
