Result Details
The Microalbumin/Creatinine test displays 3 values:
• Albumin concentration
• Creatinine concentration
• Albumin/Creatinine ratio
Both the albumin and creatinine tests are linear throughout their ranges.
NOTE: If there is an asterisk next to the result percent, this indicates that the
results were user corrected.
The following table displays the reporting range for each test.
NOTE: If creatinine units are mg/dL, then the Albumin/Creatinine (A/C) ratio is
reported as mg/g. If the creatinine units are mmol/L, then the Albumin/
Creatinine (A/C) ratio is reported as mg/mmol.
An albumin or creatinine value preceded by a less than sign (<) in the display,
indicates that the concentration is below the lower limit of the test, that is
< 5 mg/L for albumin or < 15 mg/dL for creatinine.
An albumin or creatinine value preceded by a greater than sign (>) in the
display, indicates that the concentration is above the upper reporting limit of
the test, that is > 300 mg/L for albumin and > 500 mg/dL for creatinine.
An Albumin/Creatinine ratio preceded by a less than (<) sign or greater
than (>) sign or (---) in the display, indicates that either the albumin and/or
creatinine value is above or below the Reporting Range. In certain cases, no
ratio is reported (---).
Albumin/Creatinine ratio The Albumin/Creatinine ratio results
display in mg/g units if Creatinine units
are mg/dL, or in mg/mmol if creatinine
units are mmol/L.
