What UACR levels define microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria?

UACR 30–300 mg/g = moderately increased albuminuria (formerly microalbuminuria); >300 mg/g = severely increased albuminuria (formerly macroalbuminuria/overt proteinuria). Both categories increase CKD progression and cardiovascular risk.

How often should UACR be checked in diabetic patients?

Type 1 diabetes: annually from 5 years after diagnosis. Type 2 diabetes: at diagnosis and annually. RAAS blockade should be initiated when UACR >30 mg/g to slow CKD progression.

UACR — Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio Risk Staging

Classify CKD risk using the Urine Albumin-to-Creatinine Ratio (UACR) into KDIGO albuminuria categories: A1 (<30), A2 (30–300), A3 (>300 mg/g) combined with GFR for comprehensive kidney disease risk staging.
