Blood glucose and urine albumin testing at the point-of-care, with laboratory accurate results
Every ten seconds someone dies of diabetes. At almost the same rate, another two individuals develop diabetes. That means every year, there are about 7 million new diabetics in the world. More efficient methods of screening, diagnosing and monitoring diabetes can improve the lives of diabetics and prevent complications. Point-of-care testing products from HemoCue® give you immediate test results with an accuracy and precision normally only available in a laboratory.
Blood Glucose
When you send blood glucose test samples to a central laboratory there is always a risk of glycolysis, something that can cause incorrect test results. The delay and risk can be eliminated if using a point of care testing system such as the HemoCue® Glucose system. They deliver laboratory accurate results immediately, at the point-of-care.
Urine Albumin
Elevated levels of albumin in the urine is known to be an early marker of cardiovascular and renal complications.
Early detection of albuminuria will allow you an opportunity to start treatment in time to avoid complications such as kidney failure. It can even reduce morbidity and premature mortality otherwise associated with these complications.
With the HemoCue® Albumin system you get the results quickly, at the point-of-care. These results with laboratory accuracy enables you to make the right decision in time to help your patient. Do you want to know more about detecting albuminuria at the point-of-care? Read more about the HemoCue® Albumin system or talk to a HemoCue® representative about how we can support you in implementing screening for albuminuria in your practice.
