In our laboratory we have offered a urine microalbumin analysis
     (Beckman Array) in addition to a urine protein assay (J&J Vitros).  We
     report an albumin creatinine ratio and 24 hr albumin excretion.  I am
     concerned that the ACR reference range <1.1 g/mol creatinine) is not
     approppriate in pregnancy and may give the impression that a
     significant proteinuria exists.  If you have studied U-ALB ranges in
     pregnancy I would be happy to hear from you, Regards,
