What is albumineria?

Albuminuria is a medical condition characterized by the presence of albumin, a type of protein, in the urine. It often indicates kidney damage or disease, as healthy kidneys typically prevent significant amounts of protein from leaking into the urine. Albuminuria can be a sign of conditions such as Diabetes or hypertension and is often assessed through urine tests to monitor kidney health. Early detection and management are crucial to prevent further kidney damage and associated complications.
