Over many years, high glucose levels can injure the kidneys filtering mecha­nisms as well as the absorption mechanisms. The degree of injury can be assessed with two measurements:

*
A protein called albumin in the urine
*
A chemical called creatinine in the blood

Normally, the amount of albumin in the first morning sample of urine is less than 30 mg per gram creatinine, but with kidney damage due to diabetes, this value can increase. When the value is in the 30 to 300 range, it is called microalbuminuria, and when it is more than 300, then the condition is called macroalbuminuria.
