Urine Albumin Standardization

To begin addressing urine albumin measurement and reporting issues, NKDEP and the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine convened a group of international experts in March 2007. They began framing the issues associated with the urine albumin/creatinine ratio measurement and developing a plan to improve harmonization and standardization of the test.

NKDEP, IFCC, and meeting participants are currently working to address agreed upon priorities. They also have written a manuscript outlining the issues and a proposed research agenda.
