Correct Answer: Microalbuminuria
Description: Microalbuminuria is defined as excretion of 30-300 mg of albumin per 24 hours (or 20-200 mcg/min or 30-300 mcg/mg Creatinine) on 2 of 3 urine collections. The detection of low levels of albumin excretion (Microalbuminuria) has been linked to the identification of incipient diabetic kidney disease.
