ALB and chronic kidney disease: Guidelines recommend urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (uACR) testing to identify albuminuria in CKD (rather than protein to creatinine ratio or dipstick testing), with subsequent use of renin-angiotensin aldosterone system inhibitors (RAASi) in people with moderate to heavy proteinuria as a means of reducing risk of CKD progression and cardiovascular disease (CVD) [12-14].
