The method detects early signs of acid accumulation (an indicator of impaired kidney function) by assessing the balance of various acid-base elements in urine. This method can detect imbalances long before they affect blood acid levels, providing a critical early warning for doctors.
Researchers led by Mads Vaarby Sørensen and Peder Berg demonstrated its accuracy over time by testing the method on various patient groups.
The technique is not currently part of “standard clinical practice,” but the research team is developing a cost-effective device for routine use.
