Protect Your Kidney Health with Early Detection
Are you concerned about your kidney function or managing conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure? Many South Africans unknowingly develop kidney damage that could have been prevented with early detection. Our Microalbumin/Creatinine Ratio Test is specifically designed to catch the earliest signs of kidney problems, giving you the opportunity to take action before serious complications develop.
Understanding Your Kidney Health Test
This simple urine test measures the ratio between microalbumin (tiny protein particles) and creatinine in your urine. Think of it as an early warning system for your kidneys – when they start to become damaged, they leak small amounts of protein that wouldn’t normally pass through. By catching these microscopic leaks early, you can protect your kidney function and maintain your quality of life.
Our advanced testing method uses immunoturbidimetry and compensated Jaffe’s reaction with IDMS traceable standards, ensuring the highest accuracy and reliability for your peace of mind.
Who Should Take This Important Test?
This test is especially important if you:
- Have been diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or type 2)
- Manage high blood pressure
- Have a family history of kidney disease
- Experience frequent urinary tract infections
- Notice foamy urine or swelling in your hands and feet
- Take medications that might affect kidney function
- Are over 60 years old with any chronic health conditions
Early detection is particularly crucial for South Africans, where diabetes and hypertension rates are among the highest in the world.
