ACR Formula

Understanding the calculation and medical interpretation. For detailed clinical guidelines, see the Mayo Clinic’s microalbumin test overview.

ACR Definition

The Albumin Creatinine Ratio is calculated by dividing albumin concentration by creatinine concentration:

ACR (mg/g) = Albumin (mg) รท Creatinine (g)

Interpretation Guide

Category ACR (mg/g) Interpretation
A1 < 30 Normal to mildly increased
A2 30 – 300 Moderately increased (microalbuminuria)
A3 > 300 Severely increased (macroalbuminuria)

Regular monitoring is recommended for at-risk individuals including diabetics and those with hypertension.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ACR is a measure of the amount of albumin (a protein) in urine relative to creatinine. It is used to detect early signs of kidney damage, especially in people with diabetes or high blood pressure. Learn more about albuminuria from the National Kidney Foundation.

An ACR above 30 mg/g indicates increased albumin in the urine (albuminuria), which may suggest kidney damage. ACR of 30-300 mg/g is moderately increased (A2), and above 300 mg/g is severely increased (A3).

People at risk of kidney disease, including those with diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of kidney disease, should monitor their ACR regularly. See Mayo Clinic’s recommendations for microalbumin testing.

To reduce albuminuria, manage underlying conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure through medication, diet, and exercise. Consult a healthcare provider for tailored advice.

The ACR measures albumin relative to creatinine in urine to assess kidney damage, while the BUN Creatinine Ratio measures blood urea nitrogen relative to creatinine in blood to evaluate kidney function and hydration status.
