Siemens Albustix Urine Protein Test Strips 50

Description

Product Description

Albustix are urine strips developed by Siemens to measure the presence of albumin (a protein) in the urine. This can be helpful in diagnosing and monitoring a variety of medical conditions, including kidney disease and diabetes. Albumin is a protein normally present in the blood and produced by the liver. Albumin has several important functions in the body, such as maintaining the osmotic pressure in the blood vessels, transporting hormones and other substances, and regulating the pH of the blood.

When the kidneys are not functioning properly, they can leak proteins, including albumin, into the urine. This is called albuminuria and can be a sign of kidney disease or damage to the kidneys.
