Abstract:
Hyperuricemia (HUA) has gradually become a public health burden as an independent risk factor for a variety of chronic diseases. Herein, a user-friendly point-of-care (POC) detection system (namely "Smart-HUA-Monitor") based on smartphone-assisted paper-based microfluidic is proposed for colorimetric quantification of HUA urinary markers, including uric acid (UA), creatinine (CR) and pH. The detection limits of UA and CR were 0.0178 and 0.5983 mM, respectively, and the sensitivity of pH were 0.1. The method was successfully validated in artificial urine samples and 100 clinical samples. Bland-Altman plots showed a high consistency between μPAD and the testing instruments (HITACHI 7600 Automatic Analyzer, URIT-500B Urine Analyzer and AU5800B automatic biochemical analyzer) in hospital. Smart-HUA-Monitor provides an accurate quantitative, rapid, low-cost and reliable tool for the monitoring and early diagnosis of HUA urine indicators.
