Patient's question:

What is the normal value of children's urine microalbumin/creatinine?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, the ratio of urine albumin to urine creatinine is commonly used as an indicator for diagnosing early diabetic nephropathy in clinical practice. Generally, the normal range for the urine albumin/creatinine ratio is 10 to 25 mg/mmol. Clinically, an elevated urine protein/creatinine ratio can also serve as a marker for increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It is recommended to combine clinical manifestations and medical history for a definitive diagnosis of the condition.
