A 67-year-old female presents with borderline hypertension over
the past 12 months. In addition, she is hyperglycaemic with an
HbA1c of 8%. Her other biochemistry test results show:
URINE
Analyte
Result
Albumin
0.0316 mg/mL
Creatinine
1.2 mmol/L
Osmolality
233 mOsmo/kg
Please note that reference intervals for the above
parameters are not available.
Assuming the urine albumin-to-creatinine normal ratio for adult
female above 60 years old is <3.5. How does your calculated
result compare to the normal ratio? Comment on the clinical
implication.
