Self-test to check/or the presence of anti-deamidated gliadin (anti-DGP) antibodies, lgA and IgG, in the blood, for celiac disease screening

Celiac Disease (CD), also known as “celiac sprue”, is a chronic inflam­matory disorder of the small intestine, produced by the ingestion of dietary gluten products in susceptible people. It is a multifactorial disease, including genetic and environmental factors. Environmental trigger is represented by gluten while the genetic predisposition has been iden­tified in the major histocompatibility complex region which cause the presence of specific antibodies against gluten and its components. Celiac disease is not a rare disorder like previously thought, with a global preva­lence around 1%. The reason of its under recognition is mainly referable to the fact that about half of affected people do not have the classic gastro­intestinal symptoms, but they present nonspecific manifestations of nutritional deficiency or have no symptoms at all.

Celiac Test is useful for anyone who wants to check for any gluten sensitivity, which must then be confirmed by a specialist.

Self-Test for the detection of leukocytes, blood, nitrites and proteins in urine

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a collective term that describes any infection involving any part of the urinary tract, namely the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. It is one of the most common infections in local primary care. The test should be performed in presence of the following symptoms: excessive frequency and/or burning during urination, turbid and/or bad-smelling urine.

Urinary Tract Infection Test is intended for anyone who wants to check the presence of leukocytes, blood, nitrites or proteins in the urine, indicating a possible infection in progress.

Rapid self-test for the semi-quantitative detection of vitamin D in human whole blood.

Vitamin D refers to a group of fat-soluble secosteroids responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphate and zinc. Vitamin D is produced by skin exposed to ultraviolet B radiation or obtained from dietary sources, including supplements. Average daily vitamin D intake in the population and current dietary reference intake values are often inadequate to maintain optimal vitamin D levels. Virtually every cell in our body has receptors for Vitamin D, meaning that they all require “sufficient” level of Vitamin D for adequate functioning. Vitamin deficiency has been linked to various serious diseases: osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, pregnancy complications, diabetes, strokes, autoimmune diseases, infectious diseases, etc.

Vitamin D Test is intended for persons commonly at risk for vitamin D deficiency, such as people who get tired and fatigued easily, inadequate sun exposure, limited oral intake, or have impaired intestinal absorption.
