Sudden Rise In Urinary Albumin Level
The level of albumin in my recent UACR test came 0.6 mg/dl higher than the upper normal limit of the lab's reference range.However,the levels of urinary creatinine & acr came within the normal limits
The levels of albumin,creatinine & acr came well within normal limits in the previous tests done on last 3 month's
What might be the reason of such sudden spike in albumin level within a month ?
Tested from two different labs with the same urine as sample.So,no chance of reports being false positive
Does it indicate early kidney disease ?
Is it something serious & alarming ?

No sir albuminuria varies with diet excercise and hydration,if you are so worried about it would suggest a 24 hour urine protein and creatine it's the gold standard to detect early kidney disease
