What is the high ratio of urinary albumin and creatinine?

Clinically, this test of the albumin-creatinine ratio is performed to further determine whether the elevated 24-hour urine protein is due to a pathological condition and to predict the risk of early manifestations of renal insufficiency. Moreover, once the ratio of albumin to creatinine is elevated, it can accurately reflect the abnormal function of the human kidney. When this increase is present, the patient should be reviewed promptly and specific treatment should be identified, such as diabetic nephropathy, rheumatic immune nephritis, or primary glomerulonephritis, as well as certain tumors and trauma that cause the ratio to change. Therefore, elevated albumin and creatinine ratios should be treated promptly. For cases of elevated albumin alone, or only mild elevated creatinine, this type of condition is often a functional lesion, an early change, and should be treated in time to alleviate it. Therefore, when clinically found elevated albumin or creatinine, it is necessary to determine whether the disease is a definite kidney disease, and the ratio of albumin to creatinine will be judged for comprehensive evaluation.
