This kidney health at-home test kit from Newfoundland Diagnostics is an easy and convenient way to monitor the health of your kidneys from the comfort of your own home.

It has been specifically designed to detect levels of microalbuminuria in the urine, which is an indicator of kidney damage.

Microalbuminuria is the name given when small amounts of albumin, a protein normally found in the blood, leak into the urine. This can be a sign of early kidney damage, and if left untreated, can lead to chronic kidney disease or even kidney failure.

By detecting microalbuminuria early, you can take steps to prevent further kidney problems and maintain your overall health.

This at-home Kidney Health Test Kit contains everything you need take your urine test at home.

Directions

1. Please allow the test kit to reach room temperature before use. Do not use at extreme temperatures.
2. Collect a urine specimen in a plastic or glass container. Ensure the container has been thoroughly cleaned and dried.
3. Remove the test strip from the foil pouch. Use the test strip as soon as possible.
4. Dip the test strip in the urine sample up to the max line for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not pass the max line. Remove the strip from the specimen container and place it on a non-absorbent, flat surface. Alternatively, you can take the urine sample by urinating directly onto the strip for at least 10-15 seconds. Do not immerse the plastic part of the strip into the midstream.
5. Wait for the coloured line(s) to appear. Read the result at 3-5 minutes. Do not read the result after 10 minutes.
