It allows clinicians to estimate how much albumin is being lost in the urine relative to creatinine concentration, helping to detect microalbuminuria or more severe proteinuria. Early detection is especially important for patients with diabetes, hypertension, or chronic kidney disease. A UACR value above 30 mg\/g typically indicates abnormal protein excretion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This calculator helps assess kidney function by calculating the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR).
