PreEclampsia

Our Dedication to Women and Families

LifeAssay Diagnostics won two Grand Challenges Grants from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to develop and commercialize a low-cost PrCr urine dipstick to combat the devastating effects of Preeclampsia in developing countries. 
 
The World Health Organization estimates that Preeclampsia/Eclampsia accounts for at least 16% of maternal deaths. Early identification of women at high risk for developing PE/E is key to linking them to proper health interventions to avoid complications and death.
 
The PrCr urine dipstick that has shown strong laboratory-based performance and high usability within ANC settings. 
 
We have successfully placed PrCr tests in 225 clinics across Kenya, Zambia, Zimbabwe.
