Hi , my husband had a urine and blood test in July this year
Egfr was 93 normal , blood
creatinine normal
Random urine collection -
Albumin 56 mg/l
Urine creatinine 1.7 mmol/l ( lab sugested low creatinine , may have to redo with first morning urine)
Acr was 31.8 mg/mmol which is high
We have redone tests in October
Egfr is same normal, blood creatinine normal
And
From urine results -
Sample gravity <= 1.0005 (it says dilute urine)
Protein - negative
Albumin 36 mg/l
Urine creatinine 1.3 mmol/l (same lab suggested creatinine may falsely elevate ACR. Suggest
repeat using first morning urine.)
Acr is 30 mg/mmol
Note - acr limit is <=3 mg/mmol
Heathly male, 31 yrs, no bp, no
diabetes
We are confused if its dilute urine causing creatinine to be so low
And the cause of this high ACR and where it's a false alarm?
