Hello welcome to HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Microalbuminuria is actually the earliest stage of kidney damage, mostly due to diabetes, hypertension or other reasons. It is a potentially reversible condition. So don't worry and control the risk factors like diabetes or hypertension (you haven't mentioned whether you are suffering from any disease or not.) Your s.creat report is normal.
My advice to you is -
1. Drink plenty of water daily, avoid any kind of pain killers which can damage your kidneys.
2. Take regular treatment of any disease you are suffering with regular follow up from your doctor.
3 . Kindly repeat urine micro albumin levels 6 monthly.
Don't worry at present your condition is potentially reversibl.
Thank you.
