If the urine test result is showing that urine albumin is605.1 mg/g, how can I understand the situation on this urine test result? Can anyone who is familar with urine test can tell me the situation??

Answer:

In general, this test result is showing protein (albumin) in your urine. Signs of albumin in the urine of a diabetic patient is often viewed as potential kidney disease, meaning that it is suspected the diabetes has affected the functioning of the kidneys. Your doctor may order additional testing of urine and blood, including a 24-hour urine collection (if this is not a reading from a 24-hour collection already). I've been through this process a few times myself, as my kidneys succumbed to diabetes and to harsh antibiotics used to treat CMV pneumonia, and I've had two separate transplants. Hope this helps! You will need a doctor to interpret this result for you. It can be something temporary or it can be an indication that something is wrong. Here is an excerpt from a good website that explains how one result can mean very many things.

Urine albumin

Normal Values:

The normal values for a spot check is approximately 0 to 8 mg/dl, or less than 30 mg/d of albumin (the major circulating serum protein).

For a 24 hour test, the normal is150mg/24 hr under normal circumstances.

Note: mg/dl = milligrams per deciliter; mg/24 hr = milligrams per 24 hours; mg/d = milligrams per day
