hello doctor, recently my mother underwent a urine creatinine and a urine micro albumin test for which the results were 50 mg/dl and 80mg /L and the albumin/creatinine ratio is >300mg/g Cr. she is aged 50 years and has high bp. she is taking nebicard 5 mg. My question is that whether her kidneys are damaged?
Hi welcome to Chat Doctor. I had gone through your question. I understand your concerns. Albumin creatinine ratio more than 300 indicates chronic kidney disease. Presence of albumin in the urine is a clear sign of abnormalities in kidney, and it also identifies the early stages of glomerular disease. Persistent microalbuminuria is associated with increased risk for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular mortality. Hope I have answered your question if you have further questions I will be happy to help.
