Urinalysis of a diabetic patient identified the following:
Year 1: Urine albumin was 15mg/g creatinine.
Year 2:Urine albumin was 25 mg/g creatinine.
Year 3: Urine albumin was 40 mg/g creatinine.
What do these clinical data suggest?
A.) These levels of albumin in the urine are normal, and no
follow-up is necessary.
B.) These levels of albumin in the urine suggest that kidney
function is compromised.
C.) As these values of albumin are not greater than 300mg/g
creatinine, the patient is not likely to have compromised kidney
function.
D.) An additional albumin test is required in 3-6 months to
verify diminishing kidney function.
