What Does The Test Check For? This rapid self-test is designed to detect albumin in urine. Albumin is a protein normally found in the blood, and increased amounts in urine can be associated with changes in the way the kidneys are filtering blood. Urinary albumin is an established marker used when assessing kidney health.
Although the product is called a Liver & Kidney Test, it is important to understand what the kit actually measures. It tests urine for albumin and does not provide a complete assessment of liver or kidney function. Comprehensive liver and kidney profiles use additional biomarkers and laboratory testing.
Why Test For Albumin In Urine? Checking urine for albumin can provide a useful indication that further investigation may be appropriate. Albumin in urine can occur when the kidney’s filtering structures allow more protein to pass into the urine than would normally be expected.
A home test is therefore best regarded as an initial screening tool, rather than a diagnosis.
How Does The Test Work? Collect a fresh urine sample and follow the instructions supplied with the kit to perform the test. The rapid test detects albumin in the urine and provides an easy-to-read visual result in approximately 5 minutes.
Always read the enclosed instructions fully before testing and follow the specified sample collection, testing and result-reading times.
Understanding Your Result:
Normal / Negative Result: The test has not detected albumin at or above the test’s specified threshold. This does not rule out kidney, liver or other health conditions.
Abnormal / Positive Result: Albumin has been detected at or above the test’s specified threshold. A positive screening result does not establish the cause and should not be regarded as a diagnosis.
If you receive an abnormal result, particularly if it occurs on repeated testing, speak to your GP or another qualified healthcare professional about whether further testing is appropriate.
Who Might Consider Using This Test? The kit may be suitable for adults who want a convenient way to include urinary albumin screening as part of monitoring their general health.
U-Test’s product information also positions its micro-albumin test for people monitoring health in circumstances including diabetes and high blood pressure. These are situations where professional monitoring is particularly important, so the home test should complement rather than replace appropriate medical care.
What’s In The Box? The pack contains the components required to perform one at-home urine test, together with instructions for use.
Important Information: This is a screening test and not a diagnosis. It detects albumin in urine and does not provide a complete liver function test, kidney function test or assessment of overall liver or kidney health.
An abnormal result can have different causes and may require repeat urine testing, laboratory testing or other investigations. If you receive an abnormal result, have symptoms that concern you, or are already being monitored for a medical condition, speak to your GP or another qualified healthcare professional.
Do not start, stop or change prescribed medication based on the result of a home self-test.
Disclaimer: This product is intended for home testing and screening purposes. It should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.
