Why is Albumin measured in urine?

Learn more about urine albumin testing from age 50.

Albumin in urine is a sensitive marker for the health of your kidneys. Even small amounts can indicate that the kidney's filter function is impaired - often in connection with high blood pressure, diabetes or vascular changes. Such changes increase with age, which is why measuring Albumin in the urine together with measuring kidney function in the blood is particularly useful from around the age of 50 in order to recognise early signs of incipient kidney or vascular disease. If the values are abnormal, you will receive personalised recommendations on how to protect your kidney function and further clarify possible causes.
