Immunochemical test for the qualitative detection of even small amounts of albumin in urine
Urine contains a small amount of albumin; a high albumin level indicates kidney dysfunction. This can be a crucial diagnostic indicator. An impending heart attack, diabetes and high blood pressure can cause the albumin level to rise.
Here are the detailed test specifications:
Individually sealed, you will receive the high-quality test strips in packs of 5, 12 and 30, as well as loose in a jar of 30 pieces. The jar with REF C3 8045 is subject to mandatory quality control in accordance with RiliBÄK!
Sample material: urine
Detection limit: 20 µg/ml
Read-out after 5 minutes
Storage at 2–30 °C
Even a small amount of protein excretion in urine (microalbuminuria) can be of great importance for your health. This is particularly true if you have diabetes or suffer from high blood pressure. It is often the only indication of impaired kidney function. If kidney disease is detected and treated early, kidney function can be preserved for much longer. Microalbuminuria may also be an early warning sign of a possible heart attack. Therefore, if you have diabetes or high blood pressure, you should have your urine tested for albumin and microalbuminuria at least once a year; otherwise, every two years. In any case, checking for the presence of albumin in urine is a very good tool for assessing your health status and, if values are above 10 mg/l, taking appropriate further measures.
