Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR)

A urine test that detects small amounts of protein (albumin) leaking into the urine, an early sign of kidney damage before it would show up on standard kidney function blood tests. Recommended periodically for people with diabetes or hypertension, the two leading causes of chronic kidney disease.
