What is Heatstroke — and Why Kidneys Matter?
Heatstroke is a life-threatening condition caused by extreme heat and dehydration. While symptoms such as confusion, fainting, or high body temperature appear suddenly, the earliest damage happens silently in the kidneys. L-FABP detects this hidden kidney stress, providing an early warning signal and giving organizations the chance to act before it becomes life-threatening.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Who should use the test kit?
A: The HeatStroke Kit Test is designed for organizations operating in high-heat environments across multiple sectors including military units, construction companies, oil & gas operations, logistics and delivery companies, event organisers, and CSR/ESG divisions of conglomerates. Any organization with personnel exposed to extreme temperatures and heat stress conditions can benefit from early kidney injury detection.
Q: How does the test work?
A: The kit uses a simple urine sample to detect L-FABP (Liver-type Fatty Acid-Binding Protein), a biomarker that indicates early kidney stress and injury. L-FABP is released by kidney cells when they are damaged by heat stress, dehydration, or other factors. Results are available in 2 hours using standard laboratory equipment, providing objective measurement of kidney function before symptoms appear.
Q: Why focus on kidney injury?
A: Heat stress doesn't just cause dehydration and heat stroke — it can trigger ischemic kidney injury, which often goes unnoticed until it becomes severe. Early detection reduces the risk of hospitalization, downtime, and long-term damage.
Q: Is it suitable for field use in the UAE?
A: Yes. The kit is portable, shelf-stable, and easy to use on-site, even in desert or offshore conditions.
Q: How does this benefit organizations?
A: Early detection helps save lives, maintain operational readiness, and reduce medical costs, compensation claims, and project delays.
