Biomerica Receives CE Mark Approval For 5-Minute Home Test For Kidney Disease Screening For Diabetic And Hypertensive Individuals
Biomerica, Inc. (OTCBB: BMRA) announced that it has received approval to CE mark its 5-minute home diagnostic test for detecting Microalbumin, micro amounts of albumin in urine. Albumin is normally found in the blood and filtered by the kidneys. When the kidneys are working properly, albumin is not present in urine in significant amounts. However, when the kidneys are damaged, small amounts of albumin leak into the urine, resulting in elevated levels.
