Kidney damage can harm not only the kidneys and urinary tract, but it leads to many other serious health problems too. IIM Mandi has thus come up with a novel system to detect it at the earliest so that it can be treated quickly.

Kidneys are one of the most important organs of our body, which helps to eliminate waste in the form of urine to keep the levels of constituents in balance within the body. Any problem with the kidney can lead to serious problems, which is why it is very important to take care of the kidneys. Along with keeping complete care, it is also crucial to keep a check for any symptoms that may signal any kind of damage to the kidneys. Considering this, IIT Mandy has developed a very novel system to detect such early signs of kidney damage. This has been possible by measuring low levels of protein marker in urine and blood samples. This test detects the presence of a protein named albumin in the urine and blood, which serves as an early indicator of various health disorders like renal dysfunction and others that result from diabetes. At present, dipstick tests are available to detect the presence of this protein, which can correctly estimate albumin concentration in the urine up to 30 mg/dL. But, the tests conducted at IIM Mandy can measure levels as low as 3.3 mg/dL! This is possible because the dye developed at IIM Mandy binds with the albumin molecules in the urine, which then absorbs near infrared radiation of 740 nanometer wavelength, and emits radiation at 806 nanometer wavelength. The trial has been conducted on 15 patients yet, with promising results. However, the team is to conduct a more extensive trial over the next few months on a range of patients to understand how it performs for different types of disorders. This will be the first device to have the potential to detect and quantify urinary albumin through the enrichment of the fluorescent signal. This project is jointly funded by the Ministry of Human Resource
Development and Indian Council of Medical Research to help detect many health disorders in the premature phase. We assume that with such steps, we will be soon able to detect major disorders at early stages, and have patients treat them at the earliest, to help them lead a better and healthier life ahead. With such amazing developments and advances, you can imagine where our medical professionals and industry is to proceed. We are sure that our country will reach the heights of success in a few years time in the field of medical science and clinical research. If such is your passion too, you must take a step forward to enroll yourself into this industry where you can have a very bright future, and also provide your countrymen with incredible medical innovations to relive all kinds of upcoming disorders, and old ones that haven’t yet found any cure. So, enroll yourself at Avigna Clinical Research Institute and sign up for the professional clinical research diploma courses in Bangalore available, where you can achieve specialized training and a legitimate certificate for a bright future ahead. You will also get 100% placement assistance and placement guarantee in the best CROs, Bio-techs, and pharmaceutical companies once you have cleared the courses here.
