A normal urine albumin below 30 mg/g means the kidneys are maintaining their protein filtration barrier. Small amounts below this threshold can occur naturally and are not clinically significant. This result effectively rules out microalbuminuria, which is an early warning sign of diabetic or hypertensive kidney damage.
Healthy kidneys act as a perfect filter — they keep large proteins like albumin in the blood and prevent them from entering the urine. Undetectable urine albumin means the kidney filter is working exactly as it should, with no detectable protein leakage. This is the ideal result for kidney health.
Excellent result. Your kidneys are maintaining their barrier function perfectly. Continue with routine monitoring.
Urine Microalbumin: {{value}} {{unit}} — undetectable (ref: <{{high}})A very low urine albumin level means the kidney filter (glomerulus) is maintaining its protein barrier effectively. No significant albumin is leaking through. This is a reassuring sign of healthy glomerular function and is associated with low risk of kidney disease progression.
Great result. Continue with annual kidney screening as part of routine health care.
Urine Microalbumin: {{value}} {{unit}} — very low (ref: <{{high}})A borderline low urine albumin is consistent with the kidneys are keeping albumin in the blood where it belongs. At this level, the filter is intact and no meaningful protein leakage is occurring. This is a healthy, low-risk result for kidney function.
No action needed. Good kidney health indicator.
Urine Microalbumin: {{value}} {{unit}} — low normal (ref: <{{high}})A normal urine albumin below 30 mg/g means the kidneys are maintaining their protein filtration barrier. Small amounts below this threshold can occur naturally and are not clinically significant. This result effectively rules out microalbuminuria, which is an early warning sign of diabetic or hypertensive kidney damage.
Good result. Annual microalbumin testing is still recommended for people with diabetes or high blood pressure.
Urine Microalbumin: {{value}} {{unit}} — normal (ref: <{{high}})An optimal urine albumin below 15 mg/g reflects excellent glomerular filter integrity. At this level, the kidneys are maintaining near-perfect protein retention, keeping all albumin in the bloodstream. This is associated with the lowest risk of progressive kidney disease and vascular complications.
Excellent result. This is a strong indicator of healthy kidney function. Continue preventive health care.
Urine Microalbumin: {{value}} {{unit}} — optimal (ref: <15)A borderline elevated urine albumin in the 30–100 mg/g range means the kidney filter is beginning to allow small amounts of protein to pass through. This early stage — sometimes called incipient nephropathy — is often seen in people with diabetes or high blood pressure and is one of the earliest reversible signals of kidney filter damage.
Discuss with your doctor. Blood pressure management, blood sugar control, and possible ACE inhibitor or ARB therapy can halt and sometimes reverse early microalbuminuria.
Urine Microalbumin: {{value}} {{unit}} — borderline elevated (ref: <{{high}}; borderline: 30–100)Microalbuminuria — urine albumin between 30 and 300 mg/g — is an established early marker of kidney filter damage. The glomerular barrier is losing its ability to retain protein. This is seen in diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive kidney disease, and early glomerulonephritis. Microalbuminuria also independently predicts cardiovascular risk.
This is an important finding that needs medical management. Blood pressure control, blood sugar management, and renin-angiotensin system blockers are the cornerstone of treatment to protect kidney function.
Urine Microalbumin: {{value}} {{unit}} — elevated — microalbuminuria (ref: <{{high}}; microalbuminuria: 30–300)Macroalbuminuria — urine albumin above 300 mg/g — represents advanced kidney filter damage with substantial protein loss. At this stage, significant structural damage to the kidney filtering units has occurred. Protein loss at this level can cause hypoalbuminemia, edema, and noticeably accelerated loss of kidney function without aggressive treatment.
Urgent nephrology evaluation is needed. Immediate blood pressure optimization, renin-angiotensin blockade, and aggressive management of underlying diabetes or inflammatory kidney disease are required to slow further progression.
