What causes high levels of microalbumin?

High levels of microalbumin in the urine often indicate early signs of kidney damage, particularly associated with conditions like Diabetes and hypertension. Other potential causes include glomerulonephritis, heart failure, and inflammatory conditions. Factors such as dehydration, intense physical exercise, and infections can also temporarily elevate microalbumin levels. Monitoring and managing underlying health issues is essential for reducing microalbuminuria.
