Abstract
Microalbuminuria has been found to be a good predictor of coronary artery disease in both the diabetic and non-diabetic population. Testing for microalbuminuria can be expensive, complex and time-consuming. Using a dipstick method can be an inexpensive, simple, and quick alternative. Research has been done to compare the various available testing methods. The Micral-Test II has been shown to be reliable and efficient. Sensitivity has been found to be as high as 100% with a specificity of 91 %. Positive tests can lead to more extensive testing and preventative treatment of target populations.
