Albumin Measured In Urine Or Other Fluid

Minnesota rates for HCPCS 82042

Measures how much albumin, the main protein carried in the bloodstream, is present in a fluid other than blood, such as urine or spinal fluid. Albumin should mostly stay inside blood vessels, so finding it elsewhere points to a leak, most often through the kidneys. The result is reported as a measured amount for each sample tested.
