    What is the ACR test?

    ACR is usually done to measure the amount of protein in the urine. It measures both creatinine and albumin at one time, also called a spot urine sample.

    ACR is also known as microalbumin which helps to identify the kidney disease associated with hypertension that may be the result of chronic diabetes.

    It should be monitored regularly in patients with diabetes so that proper treatment should be taken on time to prevent further complications like severe kidney disease etc.

    What is the average value of ACR?
    • ACR below 30 is considered to be normal
    • ACR: between 30-300 is considered to be moderate albuminuria
    • ACR above 300 is considered to be severely increased albuminuria.
