Description
본 발명은 휴대형 디지털 측정 장치 및 방법에 관한 것으로서, 보다 구체적으로는 소변 내의 나트륨과 칼륨을 원스톱으로 스마트하게 측정이 가능한 휴대형 디지털 측정 장치 및 방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a portable digital measuring device and method, and more particularly to a portable digital measuring device and method capable of smartly measuring sodium and potassium in urine in one stop.
일반적으로 나트륨은 대부분 소장에서 포도당, 염소 등과 함께 이온으로 흡수되며 과잉의 나트륨은 주로 소변과 땀으로 배출된다. 즉, 나트륨이 많으면 칼륨을 체외로 배설시키고, 반대로 칼륨이 많으면 나트륨을 체외로 배설시키게 된다. 이는 나트륨과 칼륨의 배출비에 따라 체내에 나트륨이 많은지 칼륨이 많은지를 알 수 있는 지표가 될 수 있다. 임의 뇨에 대한 나트륨/칼륨(Na/K) 비는 정상인뿐만 아니라 간질 환자, 울혈성 심부전증, 고혈압, 당뇨, 신장질환 및 심혈관 질환과 같이 저염식이 필요한 환자에게도 체내 나트륨 함량기준을 판단할 수 있는 지표로서의 사용이 가능하나, 24시간 소변 확보 및 고가의 분석 장비 사용에 따른 비용 부담 등의 불편함 때문에 가정에서의 체내 나트륨의 과다섭취를 간편하게 확인하기에는 어려운 실정이다. 또한, 기존의 접근 방식은 단순히 나트륨(Na), 칼륨(K)의 상대적 측정 반응만 나타내므로, 소변으로 배출되는 구체적인 나트륨(Na), 칼륨(K)의 함유량 및 나트륨/칼륨(Na/K) 비를 환자가 해석하기에는 어려움이 있었다.In general, sodium is mostly absorbed as ions together with glucose and chlorine in the small intestine, and excess sodium is mainly released into urine and sweat. In other words, if a large amount of sodium is excreted potassium outside the body, on the contrary, if a large amount of potassium excreted sodium out of the body. This can be an indicator of whether there is a lot of sodium or potassium in the body depending on the discharge ratio of sodium and potassium. The sodium / potassium (Na / K) ratio for any urine is an indicator that can be used to determine the sodium content in the body, not only in normal people, but also in patients with low salt needs, such as epilepsy, congestive heart failure, hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease. Although it can be used as a solution, it is difficult to easily check the excess intake of sodium in the body at home due to inconvenience such as securing 24-hour urine and using the expensive analysis equipment. In addition, the existing approach merely represents the relative measurement of sodium (Na) and potassium (K), so the specific sodium (Na) and potassium (K) content and sodium / potassium (Na / K) It was difficult for the patient to interpret the rain.
