Intended useSemi-quantitative test for the detection of microalbumin in urine. Elevated urinary microalbumin levels constitute an early sign of possible kidney or cardiovascular diseases, which are characterized by albuminuria. Detection of microalbuminuria can aid in the diagnosis and treatment of incipient nephropathy in diabetics and hypertensive patients.LREFAmerican Diabetes Association.
