Abnormal Rise Of Albumin In UACR Test
The level of albumin in my recent UACR test done on September came 0.6 mg/dl higher than the upper normal limit of the lab's reference range.However,the levels of urinary creatinine & acr came within the normal limits
The levels of albumin,creatinine & acr came well within normal limits in the previous tests done on June,July & August
What might be the reason of such sudden spike in albumin level within a month ? Tested from two different labs with the same urine as sample.So,no chance of reports being false positive
Does it indicate early kidney disease ? Is it something serious & alarming ?
