It is also used to monitor disease progression in those already diagnosed with microalbuminuria or proteinuria.<\/p>\n<h2>How is the Sample Collected?<\/h2>\n<p><em>The test sample is taken from a single portion of urine.<\/em> No special preparations are necessary, but it is important to collect the urine sample correctly.
