Human Breath Analyzer
Description
Nephrolux® is Pranalytica’s ammonia sensor for noninvasive diagnostics of kidney disorder and malfunction in human patients. When an individual suffers kidney disorder, the level of urea nitrogen and creatinine in the blood of the individual rises. Traditional techniques for determining the blood urea nitrogen and creatinine involve drawing blood samples from the patients and subsequent laboratory analysis, which may take as long as 24-48 hours. Pranalytica’s Nephrolux® sensor measures the concentration of ammonia in the human exhaled breath, which has been shown to have one-to-one correlation with blood urea nitrogen and creatinine concentration. The breath ammonia concentration determination takes about 2 minutes and provides the needed data without the use of invasive, expensive and non-real time blood sampling.
Because of the completely non-invasive manner in which breath ammonia testing is carried out, the test could be administered to a patient to determine the blood urea nitrogen and creatinine clearance for a patient with terminal kidney failure undergoing a dialysis treatment. The test could be administered often during a dialysis session and the results obtained instantaneously for assuring adequate dialysis.
There are other potential application of the Nephrolux® is in the general area of abnormal pregnancy including preeclampsia where monitoring breath ammonia concentration may provide early warning of likely
problems.
