     Abstract Background-aim Microalbuminuria is a marker of early kidney disease and an independent risk factor for atherosclerotic diseases. Nowadays, albuminuria detection in routine urinalysis is mainly screening test for macroalbuminuria or proteinuria. It is not an optimal screening test for microalbuminuria although the most of protein strip tests include some levels of microalbuminuria. Thus, we aimed to compare the detection of microalbuminuria by using new semiquantitative URiSCAN 2 ACR strip test and routine protein strip test with quantitative automated chemistry analyzer. Methods Total of 530 spot urine specimens of volunteers in CKDNET project were enrolled in the study. All specimens were analyzed quantitative levels of microalbumin and creatinine by using the SYNCHRON Lx20 PRO automated chemistry analyzer, analyzed semiquantitative levels of microabuminuria by using the URiSCAN 2 Optima urine chemistry test system, and analyzed semiquantitative levels of proteinuria with one level of microalbuminuria by using the iChem VELOCITY system in routine urinalysis. Results The effectiveness of URiSCAN 2 ACR strip test for microalbuminuria detection was 92.9% of sensitivity, 58.7% of specificity and 64.2% of accuracy. The false positive and the false negative rates were 41.3% and 7.1%, respectively. An agreement of URiSCAN 2 ACR strip test and the iChem VELOCITY protein strip test with automated chemistry analyzer were 60.6% and 70.4%, respectively, sensitivities of those methods were 92.9% and 89.4%, respectively, and specificities of those methods were 54.4% and 66.7%, respectively. Conclusions Based on high sensitivity and low negative rate of the test, URiSCAN 2 ACR strip test could be used as an alternative screening test for detection of microalbuminuria.
