Which tests are included?
Why choose this test?
The Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (ACR) test is a sensitive screening test used to detect early kidney damage, often before changes appear in standard blood tests or kidney function markers.
By measuring the amount of albumin (a protein) in your urine relative to creatinine, this test helps identify abnormal protein leakage from the kidneys — a key early warning sign of kidney disease.
Urine ACR testing is commonly used for people with diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular risk factors, or anyone wanting a proactive check of kidney health.
The test requires only a simple urine sample and can be completed at an Australian Clinical Labs collection centre, with results typically available within 1–2 business days.
About these tests
Healthy kidneys prevent protein from leaking into urine. When kidney filters become damaged or stressed, small amounts of albumin can pass through — often long before symptoms appear.
The ACR test is more accurate than a standalone urine albumin test because it corrects for urine concentration by comparing albumin to creatinine levels. This makes it the preferred test for early kidney disease screening.
Urine ACR is widely used to:
Detect early kidney damage
Monitor kidney health over time
Assess cardiovascular and metabolic risk
