Hello, thanks for the query. I have seen the details mentioned. His glucose levels & hba1c% are all quite good suggesting very good control of diabetes. As regards microalbuminuria, it does happen in a person with diabetes and even hypertension (high blood pressure). That is because in both these conditions there is a load on the kidney function. However, 174 mcg is a bit high, but not alarming. There is no information about his age, serum creatinine & urea as well as blood pressure. It is essential to know these parameters too. If he maintains strict glucose control, then there is no reason to worry. If you have any questions please do come back. Thanks.
