Question

What is the normal range of urinary microalbumin/urinary creatinine ratio in children?

Answer

The urinary microalbumin/urinary creatinine ratio is commonly used as an indicator for diagnosing early diabetes kidney disease. Generally, the normal range for this ratio is between 10 to 25 milligrams/millimole. An elevated ratio is also often used as a marker to assess an increased risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. It is recommended to make a clear diagnosis based on individual clinical presentation and medical history.
