Hello,
To have a proper result of microalbumin/creatinine ration you should take the morning sample.
Must avoid heavy exercises 24 hours before the test
Test gives false results if person is very thin or very muscular.
In your case you might have consumed plenty of oral fluids prior to the test,giving a dilute urine.
Get your test done as advised above,for proper result.Normally the values should be below 2 in males and 2.8 in females.Any value between 2 to 20 mg of albumin/ mmol of creatine is called as MICROALBUMINARIA and similarly 2.8 to 28 for females.
Thanks
