getTested Kidney Test Kit

getTested Kidney Test Kit is an easy-to-use home test designed to monitor kidney health by measuring creatinine, protein, and urine density levels. This simple urine test does not require lab processing; instead, the results are available immediately by comparing the test strip to the colour chart included in the packaging.
The kidneys filter waste products and excess water from your blood, producing urine as a result. The small units inside your kidneys, called nephrons, are the actual filtering units. Each kidney has about a million nephrons. Most kidney diseases attack the nephrons and alter their ability to filter blood and produce urine.

Uses:

• Monitor kidney health by measuring creatinine, protein, and urine density levels

Net Quantity:
2 Test strips

Product Specifications and Features:

• Simple at-home urine test for kidney function monitoring

• Measures key indicators such as creatinine, protein, and urine density

• No need for lab analysis; results are available immediately

• Uses a visual colour chart for easy interpretation

• Designed for individuals who want to track kidney function

• Suitable for those managing diabetes, high blood pressure, or kidney-related concerns

• Non-invasive and easy to use that provides results within 30-60 seconds

• Contains 2 test strips, dessicant and package insert

Directions for Use:

• Simply dip the strip in urine for one second

• Wait for 30-60 seconds

• Compare the colours on the strip to the color chart

Safety Information:

• Read the instruction manual carefully before use

• Store at room temperature 15-30°C

• Do not store test strips in the refrigerator or freezer

• Do not expose the test strips to moisture, heat, or light before use

• Use the test strip immediately after opening the foil pouch

• Keep away from children

Test Limitations:

• Substances that cause abnormal urine color, such as certain medications, can affect the color development on the test strip

• The color development in the reaction area can be masked, or a color reaction may occur in the area that can be visually interpreted as a false positive

• Therefore, it is recommended, in doubt, to repeat the test after finishing the medication (after consulting your doctor)

• Protein: The minimum sensitivity of this test is 10-20 mg/dL of protein in urine

• Highly buffered alkaline urines (pH 9) can give a false negative result

• The interpretation of results is also difficult in cloudy urine samples

• Specific Gravity: Elevated specific gravity readings can be obtained in the presence of moderate amounts (100-700 mg/dL) of protein; specific gravity increases with the amount of glucose in the urine

• Creatinine: Low creatinine concentration may be associated with dilution
