For professional in vitro diagnostic use only.
Clinical Significance
Diabetic nephropathy, which is accompanied by irreversible kidney damage and persistent proteinuria, is a major cause of death in persons with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. An early sign of diabetic nephropathy are small Albumin secretions in urine, i.e. Microalbuminuria. Therefore, detection of kidney (glomerular) damage that is minimal and reversible is important.
Test Principle
Measurement of antigen-antibody reaction by the end-point method.
Stability & Storage
The reagents are stable until expiry date when kept at 2-8°C. Stability in the instrument is at least 4 weeks if contamination is avoided. Do not freeze.
