Although albumin is the most common plasma protein, only minuscule amounts of albumin are normally excreted in the urine, usually no more than 30 mg/day. Microalbuminuria is used to describe albumin concentrations in the urine that are greater than normal but not detectable with common urine dipstick assays. Synonyms include slight albuminuria, paucialbuminuria, and incipient diabetic nephropathy.
