Abstract:
Urinary excretion of albumin indicates kidney damage and is recognized as a risk factor for progression of kidney disease and cardiovascular disease,resulting a widespread clinical utilization of urine albumin measurement.Considerable inter-method difference has been reported for urine albumin,there are no available reference materials and no reference measurement procedures for urine albumin.This review discusses the clinical utilization of urine albumin in recent years,the principles of existing measurement systems and difference of results among systems,and the current status of work about reference materials and reference measurement procedures.
