There should be no albumin in the urine if the kidneys are functioning properly.
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.
This test checks for albumin in the urine
30-300 mg in a 24 hr sample
In the urine of a person with normally functioning kidneys, there should be no albumin. If there is between 30 and 300 mg per day, it is called microalbuminuria, and if it is over 300 mg per day it is called frank albuminuria. If the albumin gets to 3.0 - 3.5 g per day or more, it is nephrotic syndrome.
A morbid condition in which albumin is present in the urine.

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.
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.
Micro: Tiny, very small amount. Albumin: A protein playing a very important role in the blood. A microalbumin test checks urine for the presence of a protein called albumin. Albumin is normally found in the blood and filtered by the kidneys. When the kidneys are working properly, albumin is not present in the urine. However, when the kidneys are damaged, small amounts of albumin leak into the urine. This condition is called microalbuminuria. Microalbuminuria is most often caused by kidney damage from diabetes. However, many other conditions can lead to kidney damage, such as high blood pressure, heart failure, cirrhosis, or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). If early kidney damage is not treated, larger amounts of albumin and protein may leak into the urine. This condition is called macroalbuminuria or proteinuria. When the kidneys spill protein, it can mean serious kidney damage is present. This can lead to chronic kidney disease. A microalbumin urine test can be done on a sample of urine collected randomly (usually after the first time you urinate in the morning), a sample collected over a 24-hour period, or a sample collected over a specific period of time, such as 4 hours or overnight. A microalbumin urine test is done to check for protein (albumin) in the urine. Early detection may change treatment in an effort to preserve as much kidney function as possible.
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.
