Description
Urinary Albumin Excretion Rate (UAER) is a measure or estimate of the quantity of microalbuminuria excreted in urine.
Indications
The UAER is the main parameter used in diabetic patients to clinically evaluate early diabetic nephropathy. Apart from its use in monitoring renal functional loss, UAER is considered an indicator of endothelial dysfunction as well as an independent marker for cardiovascular disease. However, due to the inherent variability of UAER, several tests are advisable in the follow up of diabetic patients.
