Popis: Introduction Early detection of diabetes mellitus (DM) and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is important for preventing end-stage renal failure and reducing cardiovascular complications. Availability of a validated point-of-care (PoC) device that can measure various DKD markers would be useful in this respect, especially in resource-poor parts of the world. Methods We validated a novel nanotechnology-based multianalyte PoC device (minimally invasive and does not require trained medical personnel) against laboratory gold standard tests for the detection of 5 biomarkers related to management of DM and DKD. The prospective study was funded by an International Society of Nephrology American Nephrologists of Indian Origin grant in 2 phases: (i) proof of concept: random samples were tested for the analytes with the PoC device and correlated with the laboratory gold standard; and (ii) clinical validation in a well-characterized cohort of patients. A nonenzymatic- and nonantibody-based electrochemical PoC device for quantitative measurement of markers—glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), hemoglobin, serum albumin, microalbuminuria, urine creatinine, and albumin-to-creatinine ratio−was developed and used in this study. The disposable strips were interfaced with a multipotentiostat hand-held PoC device (3.7-V rechargeable lithium battery, 5-inch touch screen, Bluetooth enabled) working in amperometry mode, which provided the results in
