What do I actually get? You will receive 5 individually foil-sealed test strips designed for detecting kidney disease in the urine of cats and dogs.
What’s Included?
The pack includes 5 foil-sealed test strips specifically for testing kidney function in cats and dogs. Each strip measures 3 key parameters: Specific Gravity, Protein, and Creatinine—essential indicators of kidney health. These tests are identical to those used by veterinarians, ensuring reliable results. It is crucial to use animal-specific urinalysis strips, as human tests do not account for the different parameters found in pets' urine.
Why Do I Need This Test?
Chronic kidney disease is a major health concern for both cats and dogs. Early detection is vital, and urinalysis is a crucial tool for screening and monitoring kidney function. Our ONE STEP® KIDNEY CHECK FOR CATS & DOGS measures 3 key parameters essential for diagnosing kidney disease:
- Specific Gravity: Indicates urine concentration, helping assess kidney function.
- Protein: Measures the amount of protein in the urine, which may indicate kidney damage.
- Creatinine: A constant waste product excreted by the kidneys, used to assess kidney excretion rates.
How It Works
By checking these 3 parameters, you can calculate the urine protein:creatinine ratio, which helps assess the extent of protein loss through the kidneys and the dilution of urine. Creatinine is excreted at a constant rate, making it a reliable indicator for comparing protein excretion levels. If the urine is excessively dilute, even small amounts of protein could indicate kidney disease or failure. Therefore, measuring Specific Gravity is key to assessing the kidneys' ability to concentrate urine and detect early kidney issues.
