Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

According to the American Kidney Fund "The test for protein in the urine measures the amount of albumin in your urine, compared to the amount of creatinine in your urine. This is called the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). A UACR more than 30 mg/g can be a sign of kidney disease."

You will need to follow up with your doctor regarding your lab results.

Best,
Susan
