| In diabetes patients albumin secretion is a very important parameter for the evaluation of the kidney function. Urine values higher than 25 µg/ml indicate a detrimental kidney function of insulin-dependent (type I) and non‑insulin dependent (type II) diabetic patients. The determination of Albumin is therefore an important diagnostic tool in monitoring diabetic nephropathies. Albumin has a relative molecular mass of 66 kDa. It is contained in urine at very low concentrations. In case of a very active glomerular filtering process the albumin secretion can arise without an underlying kidney disease. This situation is called "Microalbuminuria". The detection of these small secretion quantities requires very sensitive test systems, i. e. immunological techniques. Physical stress can induce elevated albumin secretion too, without the occurence of a kidney disease. |
