Hi, a urine test has just shown my albunin/creatinine ratio as 3.16, should be less than 3. Anyone had this borderline figure? What treatment did you have. Can it be caused by a UTI? Does it mean kidney failure?

I had a high number once @DiabeticDi , can't remember the figure, but it's immaterial, as when they retested a couple of weeks later, it was back to normal. I'd hope your surgery would do this, but if they don't I'd suggest you ask for it to be repeated.

I had similar over the winter months when I was ill with something else, I think they waited 2 weeks between tests. Mine eventually came back down to where I usually sit, can’t recall my numbers but I’ve had slightly leaky kidneys but very stable for the last 14 years, I’m slightly elevated but nowhere near kidney failure, my DSN & GP are not concerned at all.
I am on a low dose of blood pressure tablets which I’m on to further protect my kidneys, I’ve never had high blood pressure

Thank you. I have always been in range with this so was panicky, especially after 44 yrs diabetic but calmer now.
