Brief Answer:
Very High than normal; get an appointment for a nephrologist

Detailed Answer:
Hello

My name is Dr Muhammad Ali Rauf & i will look into your problem.

I have gone through your query and would try to help you in the best possible way. Normal levels of urine albumin are from 0 - 8mg/dl. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different labs. Some labs use different measurements. I would suggest you to visit hospital and get an appointment for a "consultant Nephrologist" for further workup & management

Sorry to keep bothering you but my results are mg/l not mg/dl. Do you mean mg/l?

Brief Answer:
Please accept apology for misunderstanding; your lab within limits

Detailed Answer:
Hello

First of all please accept my apologies for misunderstanding the units.

Your value was 47 mg/l which if we convert to mg/dl is 4.7mg/dl. It comes within the normal limit of 0 - 8 mg/dl. There are certain physiological conditions like dehydration, sternous exercise & UTI which may cause increased levels.

Once again apologise for the misinterpretation & I'll be delighted to assist further for if you have any query.
Thank You!
