Transdermal Creatinine Sensing in Live Animals with an Integrated Electrochemical Microneedle Patch

Article D Peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

Researchers built a small patch that can check kidney levels in the fluid under the skin. It uses tiny needles to sample fluid without a blood draw. This test was done in live animals, not people yet. It could make home monitoring easier in the future.
