Kidney-Screening Kit for Home Use

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 11 Jul 2001
A convenient kit enables diabetic patients to collect a urine sample at home and mail it to a laboratory for detecting small amounts of albumin in the urine (microalbuminuria), the earliest clinical evidence of kidney dysfunction.

About 20-30% of patients with diabetes develop kidney disease, according to the American Diabetes Association. More...
However, studies show that tests for kidney disease are underused. The test, called KidneyScreen At Home, has been cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It was developed by FlexSite Diagnostics, Inc. (Palm City, FL, USA; www.flexsite.com). The patient uses the company's UriSite urine collection device to collect the urine sample, which is then mailed in a dried state to the company's licensed laboratory. FlexSite has also developed a convenient and affordable home test, called A1c, for glycohemoglobin (HbA1c).
