PRIMA Kidney Albumin Home Test Self-test for determining albumin in urine Contents: 1 test ALBUMIN IN URINE Albumin is the most abundant protein in plasma, accounting for approximately two-thirds of the total protein content. This protein is synthesized by the liver, and its main functions are: transport of metabolites (such as bilirubin, free fatty acids, and thyroid hormones), maintenance of oncotic pressure (essential for fluid distribution in capillaries and tissues), and use as an amino acid reserve. Normally, albumin is excreted in only small amounts in the urine. When the levels of this protein in the urine exceed the reference values, it is called pathological albuminuria, which can have the following causes: high blood pressure, diabetes, kidney disease, amyloidosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Other factors that can affect albumin levels in urine include: smoking, dehydration, excessive physical activity, urinary tract infections, heart failure, hypertriglyceridemia, and obesity. WHO IS THE TEST FOR? KIDNEYS ALBUMIN TEST is aimed at anyone who wants to check for the presence of albumin in their urine outside the normal range. The presence of this protein in urine can be an early indicator of potential kidney damage. People who chronically have small, measurable amounts of albumin in their urine have an increased risk of developing progressive kidney dysfunction and cardiovascular disease. TECHNICAL DATA KIDNEYS ALBUMIN TEST is a rapid immunochromatographic device capable of detecting the presence of albumin in urine equal to or greater than the cutoff value of 10 μg/mL. Specificity 95.2% Sensitivity 98.2% Accuracy 96.9% CONTENTS - 1 test cassette - 1 pipette for urine collection - Instructions for use MISSION 1. Open the foil pouch, remove only the test cassette and discard the desiccant pouch; 2. Collect the urine sample in a clean, dry and residue-free container (not included in the kit); 3. Press down on the plunger of the pipette and immerse 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 adhered to? The test was performed correctly if the instructions for use were followed, including the reading time and the interpretation of the results as specified 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 if symptoms affecting the urinary tract are present, or if hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia are suspected. The test can also be performed during pregnancy. How should the test be interpreted if the control and test lines show different intensities? The color and intensity of the bands are not important for interpreting the result. The lines must be smooth and solid. The test is considered negative regardless of the intensity of the test line (T) color.
