Autobio Ca home test is intended for the qualitative detection of calcium level in urine and milk samples, aiding in the diagnosis of calcium level in human body, guiding the correct supplement of calcium uptake and preventing calcium deficiency. It is suitable for regular health examinations and screening tests in healthcare institutions as well as self-tests at home.
Calcium is the most important mineral element and its concentration in the human body is the greatest among all the mineral elements, which accounts for 2 percent of the body weight, and distribute widely over all tissues and organs of body. About 99 percent of calcium in the human body is held in the bones and teeth; the remainder circulates in the bloodstream, where it performs a variety of important functions. In fact, all functions of all systems in the human body are relevant with calcium. The balance of calcium metabolism plays a crucial role in maintaining life and health. Calcium deficiency in children or babies can lead to a variety of disorders that include rickets, dental problems, muscular tics, night terror, night crying, hyperkinetic syndrome and allergic disease, such as eczema, dropsy, asthma...etc. Calcium deficiency in pregnant women can lead to some pregnancy complications (for example hypertension), tics, osteomalacia, pain in waist and legs…etc. Calcium deficiency in old people can lead to osteoporosis and bone element hyperplasia, and it has been found that diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, Obesity, blood vessel disease and senile dementia are relevant to calcium deficiency.
At present, the commonly evaluation methods of the calcium nutrition contain hair calcium, serum calcium and urine calcium (milk calcium). Serum calcium belongs to the wound determination, so the wound may infect some diseases. Beside this, when the diagnostic result of hair calcium or serum calcium is lack of calcium, adjust function of the human body to calcium has lain in decomposition stage, organs of human body have been influenced by the lack of calcium, and the clinic symptoms begin to present. So serum calcium and hair calcium can’t early discover calcium deficiency, causing the treatment to be delayed. On the other hand, immediately after the human body lacks the calcium, the body will reduce calcium excretion to maintain calcium equilibrium within the body; therefore urine calcium and milk calcium determination can early reflect the dynamic variety of calcium and accurately measure the metabolic level of the calcium in vivo and human milk.
