Microalbuminuria is an initial indicator of kidney damage in diabetic nephropathy (DN), hypertensive nephropathy (HN), and pre-eclampsia (PE). This study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of urinary microalbumin to creatinine ratio (UM/CR) as an early diagnostic tool in patients with DN, HN, and PE.
