The Urinary Angiotensinogen to Urinary Albumin Ratio Reflects Whether the Renin-angiotensin System in the Kidney is Activated due to Filtration of Plasma Angiotensinogen through the Damaged Glomeruli or the Production of Angiotensinogen in the Proximal Tubules.

Conclusion These data suggest that the origins of urinary AGT may differ according to the etiology of renal damage (i.e. glomerular damage [such as IgAN and MN] or tubulointerstitial damage [such as TIN]), and a higher urinary AGT/Alb ratio, as in TIN, may reflect AGT production in the kidney.
