PRIMA Kidney Albumin Home Test

Self-test for the determination of albumin in urine

Contents: 1 test

ALBUMIN IN URINE

Albumin is the most abundant protein in plasma, accounting for about two-thirds of the total protein content. This protein is synthesised by the liver and its main functions are Transport of metabolites (such as bilirubin, free fatty acids, thyroid hormones), maintenance of oncotic pressure (essential for the distribution of fluids in capillaries and tissues) and use as a reserve of amino acids.

Normally, only small amounts of albumin are excreted in the urine. If the levels of this protein in the urine exceed the reference values, this is referred to as pathological albuminuria, which can have the following causes: High blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, amyloidosis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Other factors that can influence albumin levels in urine are Smoking, dehydration, excessive exercise, urinary tract infections, heart failure, hypertriglyceridaemia and obesity.

WHO IS THE TEST AIMED AT?

KIDNEYS ALBUMIN TEST is aimed at anyone who wants to check the presence of albumin in urine outside the norm.

The presence of this protein in urine can be an early indicator of possible kidney damage. People who chronically have small measurable amounts of albumin in their urine are at increased risk of developing progressive kidney dysfunction and cardiovascular disease.

- 1 test cassette

- 1 pipette for urine collection

- Instructions for use

USE

1. open the foil pouch, remove only the test cassette and discard the desiccant bag;

2. collect the urine sample in a clean, dry and residue-free container (not included in the kit)

3. press the plunger of the pipette and dip the tip of the pipette into the collected sample, then release the plunger;

4. add 3 drops of the extracted sample and wait 5 minutes to read the result.

INTERPRETATION OF THE RESULTS

Negative: Albumin levels in urine are normal or in any case below the cut-off value of 10 μg/mL.

Positive: The albumin level in the urine is above normal and it is therefore recommended to consult a doctor.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

What happens if the times for reading the results are not observed?

The test has been performed correctly if the instructions for use have been followed, including the reading time and interpretation of the results given in the ‘INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS’ section of the instructions for use.

Can the test be performed at any time?

It is advisable to perform the test with the first morning urine, in case of symptoms affecting the urinary tract or in case of suspected hyperglycaemia and hypertriglyceridaemia. The test can also be carried out during pregnancy.

How should the test be interpreted if the control and test lines have different intensities?

The colour and intensity of the bands are not important for the interpretation of the result. The lines must be smooth and full. The test is considered negative regardless of the intensity of the colour of the test line (T).
