Brief Answer:
Are you diabetic?

Detailed Answer:
HI,

But for the microalbuminuria, everything is fine and there is nothing to worry about. If you are diabetic, then we will need to review your treatment and blood pressure. If you are not, I will suggest that you get the microalbuminuria controlled after 3months. This will tell us whether this is for real above the normal limit or it was just a one time observation.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Let me know if your query is fully addressed. If you have any further worries, feel free to follow through with me.
