the urinary excretion of small amounts of albumin, below the detection level of routine dipstick analysis. The condition is an early indicator of altered glomerular permeability in diabetes.

(mī´krōalbyoo´m

n a type of albuminaria that is characterized by relatively low levels of albumin in the urine (between 30 and 300 mg in 1 day). The increase in albumin secretion is generally too small to be detected by a conventional dipstick test but can indicate the beginnings of kidney disorders, especially those related to diabetes.

Nephrology The excretion of 30-300 mg albumin/day; ↑ albumin excretion predicts hemodynamic and morphologic changes of diabetic nephropathy; when ↑, is an early indicator of renal failure the risk of
microalbuminuria in DM ↑ when HbA1 value rises > 10%. See Diabetic nephropathy.
