Why It Matters
In the UAE, summer temperatures reach nearly 50°C, placing military, construction, and oil & gas workers at high risk of heat stroke and hidden kidney injury.
Over one-third of heat stroke cases lead to acute kidney injury (AKI), which can cause long-term damage and even require dialysis. Hospitals also report a 30–40% rise in kidney stone cases during summer.
Extreme Heat, Real Risk
The UAE's summer conditions are among the harshest globally. Temperatures routinely exceed 45°C, and heat indices can top 55°C, putting personnel under relentless physical strain.
What Is Heat Stroke?
Heat stroke occurs when the body's core temperature rises above 40°C (104°F), causing central nervous system dysfunction. Symptoms include:
Confusion
Altered mental state and disorientation
Seizures
Uncontrolled electrical activity in brain
Loss of Consciousness
Complete loss of awareness

Why Early Detection is Non-Negotiable
Save lives through early intervention
Preserve readiness for soldiers and workers alike
Protect productivity and prevent costly downtime
Reinforce UAE's commitment to workforce welfare
For sectors that drive the nation's security, infrastructure, and energy leadership, protecting people from unseen heat-related threats is mission-critical.
Our Solution: HeatStroke Kit Test
The HeatStroke Kit Test detects early signs of kidney stress caused by heat stroke and dehydration. By measuring biomarkers like L-FABP in urine, it enables timely intervention to prevent serious complications, protecting health and performance in high-heat environments.
