The Clinistix™ Kidney Health Test Kit empowers you to proactively monitor your kidney health from the comfort of your own home. These self-guided test strips utilize the same proven technology trusted by healthcare professionals for urinalysis. Within just one minute, you can detect albumin and creatinine levels in your urine sample. The test results also help you assess your albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), a crucial indicator of kidney function. Elevated protein levels in urine can signal potential kidney damage and an increased risk of cardiovascular issues. Clinistix™ strips require no special equipment for analysis, and the results are easily interpreted through a color chart provided. A table in the included instructions helps you understand the significance of your albumin and creatinine levels in relation to each other (ACR). The test offers flexibility, allowing for mid-stream urine collection or direct dipping of the strip. Each test strip is made from white polystyrene and features two separate reagent pads for accurate detection.
