The full name is the microalbumin to creatinine ratio. Microalbumin is a test used to detect small amounts of protein in the urine, which is an indicator of kidney damage. Healthy kidneys don't allow any protein to leak out into the urine. Creatinine is a normal waste product that indicates how concentrated the urine is. The microalbumin ratio gives you a number, in the units milligrams of albumin per grams of creatinine, that indicates if your kidneys are functioning properly. The lower the number is, the better.
