Abstract
The urine dipstick test that regards > 1+ proteinuria as positive is unsuitable for microalbuminuria screening owing to its low sensitivity in the general population. We conducted a cross-sectional survey to examine whether trace proteinuria could be an indicator of microalbuminuria.Keywords
