Hi welcome to HCM. I had gone through your question. I understand your concerns.
Albumin creatinine ratio more than 300 indicates chronic kidney disease. Presence of albumin in the urine is a clear sign of abnormalities in kidney and it also identify the early stages of glomerular disease. Persistent microalbuminuria is associated with increased risk for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular mortality.
Hope i have answered your question if you have further questions i will be happy to help.
