Clinitek Microalbumin Reagent Strips
...oalbuminuria, an abnormal elevation of the urinary albumin excretion rate, is an indicator of organ damage. It is an accepted predictive marker for early detection of kidney disease and identification of patients at risk for complications of diabetes or hypertension.......;microALB is a qualitative immunoassay for urinary albumin that allows for early detection of kidney disease. This albumin specific, CLIA Waived test has a sensitivity of 18 mg/L and specificity of 95%, and gives accurate r......results. Early detection of low levels of urinary albumin allows early intervention incases of Subclinical Nephropathy in Diabetes and Hypertension.Microalbuminuria is now accepted as highly predictive of cardiovascular risk inhypertensive individuals.......strips are an optically read immunoassay to detect albumin in urine samples.
