Quicktest Njurtest upptäcker onormalt höga värden av albumin i urinen. Ett förhöjt albuminvärde ses framförallt i samband med uttorkning eller vätskebrist, men kan också vara ett tecken på på sjukdom i njurarna eller i urinvägarna.

Albumin test - detect impaired kidney function

The kidneys have many functions, one of the most important of which is to act as the body's own purification plant and filter out small molecules from the blood. A blood test where the level of the substance albumin is taken to indicate whether there is any damage or disease in the kidneys or liver. Healthy kidneys filter waste from the blood but retain the healthy components, including proteins like albumin. Kidney damage can cause proteins to leak through the kidneys and into the urine. Albumin is one of the first proteins to leak out during kidney damage.. Quicktest Kidney Test is a microalbumin test that makes it possible to detect abnormal albumin concentrations in the urine in less than 10 minutes. The test is used to detect early signs of kidney damage, especially in people who are at risk of developing kidney disease or who have a family history of kidney disease.

Why measure albumin?

Albumin is normally present in the urine in small amounts or in amounts so small that it is not even detectable. In kidney disease, more albumin than normal can sometimes be lost through the urine. A high albumin level indicates dysfunction of the kidneys' filtration function and may be a sign of disease or damage to the kidneys or urinary tract. The most common diseases that lead to albumin in the urine are: urinary tract infection or renal pelvis inflammation. The first sign that diabetic kidney disease is developing is usually the protein albumin being excreted in the urine.

Frequently asked questions

What is albumin?
Albumin is a protein produced in the liver whose function is to transport various substances and proteins in the body, including hormones, vitamins and enzymes. Albumin also helps keep water in the blood so that it does not leave the blood vessels and enter tissues, where it could cause swelling known as edema.
How does the albumin test work?
Our kidney test is a self-test that you can easily perform at home. A sample from the first morning urine is recommended. Collect urine in the included urine cup. Dip the test strip into the urine for approx. 5-10 seconds. Then place the test strip on a flat, dry surface. You can read the result after only 5 minutes. The urine strip has a test field that changes color if there is an increased concentration of the protein albumin in the urine. To read the result, compare the intensity of the lines with the included instruction manual.
I did not use the first morning urine. Will the test still be reliable?
The concentration in morning urine is generally higher. For this reason, morning urine is recommended because it provides the best conditions for an accurate result. However, our test can be used at any time of day.
What should I do if the result is positive?
If the result is positive, it means that the test has detected albumin concentrations above 20 mg/l in your urine. This may be temporary and transient. Therefore, repeat the test after a few days. If the second test is also positive, you should contact a doctor.
What should I do if the result is borderline?
This result means that the test has detected an albumin level above 10 mg/l but below 20 mg/l. This result does not require further investigation, but new tests should be performed regularly.
How quickly can albumin levels change and how often should I test?
Albumin levels are affected by many different factors and can therefore change quickly depending on how we are feeling. If you have diagnosed diabetes or heart failure, there may be value in testing albumin more often. If you are healthy, have a normal diet and are not taking medication, it is sufficient to test albumin together with other tests to monitor your health over time.
I am physically active. Can this affect the result?
Yes, intense physical exercise increases albumin levels.
Are there any other situations when I should not perform the test?
Yes, if you have a fever, infection or are pregnant. These conditions increase albumin levels.
Do I need to think about my fluid intake before the test?
Excessive fluid consumption can produce a so-called false-negative result. Too little fluid intake can produce a false-positive result. Therefore, drink normally.
How reliable is the test?
The Quicktest kidney test is highly reliable and is used by various healthcare facilities. Studies show reliability of around 88%. Although the test is considered reliable, false-positive and false-negative results can occur.
