Micro Albumin Creatinine Ratio Price in Bangladesh

What is Micro Albumin Creatinine Ratio?

The microalbumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) test measures the amount of albumin (a type of protein) in the urine, adjusted for creatinine levels. This test helps assess kidney function, particularly in early stages of kidney disease, such as diabetic nephropathy.

A higher ratio indicates the presence of small amounts of albumin in the urine, which can be an early sign of kidney damage. It is typically done with a random urine sample, with minimal preparation required.

Risks are minimal, as the test only involves urine collection. Abnormal results may prompt further testing or changes in management to protect kidney health.

What to expect & how to prepare

Micro Albumin Creatinine Ratio is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Micro Albumin Creatinine Ratio result rather than self-diagnosing.
