The kidneys play a crucial role in filtering blood, removing waste, and balancing fluids in the body. Regular monitoring helps in maintaining kidney function and preventing chronic kidney disease.*

Indicators:

SUPPORTED BENEFITS:*

  • Effective waste removal
  • Fluid balance
  • Healthy blood pressure

‡The kidneys filter around 50 gallons (190 liters) of blood every day. Despite their small size—each kidney is roughly the size of a fist—they perform this critical function by filtering out waste products, excess fluids, and electrolytes from the bloodstream to produce urine. This process is essential for maintaining the body's overall fluid balance, regulating blood pressure, and ensuring the proper function of other organs.4o

‡The liver is the only organ in the human body that can regenerate itself. Even if up to 70% of the liver's mass is removed or damaged, it has the remarkable ability to regrow to its full size and restore its function. This regenerative capacity is crucial for liver transplant patients, as a portion of a donor's liver can regenerate to meet the body's needs, both in the donor and the recipient.

FAQs

How does the Ribbon Checkup system work?

The Ribbon Checkup system uses a urine test strip combined with a smartphone camera to analyze your health indicators. Simply urinate on the strip, wait for the appropriate amount of time, and then use your smartphone to scan the strip through the Ribbon Checkup app. The app will provide a detailed analysis of various health metrics such as glucose, protein, pH levels, and more, giving you comprehensive insights into your health.

What health conditions can the Ribbon Checkup system help monitor?

The Ribbon Checkup system can help monitor a variety of health conditions, including kidney function, liver health, diabetes management, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and general wellness. It is particularly useful for early detection of issues related to these conditions, allowing for timely intervention and management. For pregnant women, it can also help in monitoring for preeclampsia.

How accurate are the results from the Ribbon Checkup test?

The Ribbon Checkup system is designed to provide accurate and reliable results when used correctly. The test strips are manufactured under strict quality controls, and the app's advanced image recognition technology ensures precise readings. However, for any concerning results or symptoms, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and confirmation.

How often should I use the Ribbon Checkup test?

The frequency of using the Ribbon Checkup test depends on your individual health needs and conditions. For general health monitoring, twice a month might be sufficient. However, if you have specific health concerns such as diabetes, kidney issues, or are at risk for preeclampsia during pregnancy, more frequent testing, such as weekly or bi-weekly, may be beneficial. Always follow your healthcare provider's recommendations for testing frequency.
