Albumin is the single most abundant blood protein and is very important in maintaining the osmotic pressure of the blood. Besides that Albumin like othere blood proteins is to large to pass through the glomerular filtration membrane.
kidneys filter it out
There should be no albumin in the urine if the kidneys are functioning properly.
No, 3+ albumin in the urine is not normal.
If there is albumin in the urine, it is not because the kidney is producing it, but rather, because it is leaking into the urine from the blood.
Trace albumin in the urine is usually nothing to worry about. A urine albumin result below 30 is normal, while a result over 30 could indicate kidney disease.
Within the proximal tubules and the Loop of Henle are glucose cotransporters. With one sodium atom, the glucose is reabsorbed into the vasa recta to be returned to the body. Albumin is a protein and cannot easily cross the glomerulus. The effect of these two mechanisms is the same: the substances are not in urine.
Clinistix is a strip used to check glucose in the urine. Abustix? Do you mean Albustix? Albustix is for checking albumin in urine. Albumin is protein.

Faint traces of albumin in the urine can be detected on urinalysis. A doctor will need to evaluate and treat in case this is caused by a serious condition.
Albumin refers to the amount of water soluble protein in the urine. A normal result would be negative.
Urine albumin measurement
Hypoalbuminemia is a decreased amount of albumin in the blood.
Esbach reagent is used to detect albumin in urine. The picric and citric acids forms a precipitate with albumin.
