A few milliliters of urine
to decipher your health
The test execution with xken health is incredibly simple. Clear instructions guide you step by step through the entire process – from sample collection to your personal test result. In addition, xken health Access to our scientific and clinical network.
An important question:
"Why urine and not blood?"
Pathological changes in the human body begin at the protein level. Proteins are transported through the body via the blood, filtered in the kidneys, and excreted. These proteins, as well as their fragments, are now present in the urine and can be reliably detected. A comparison of your proteome with the disease-specific protein patterns leads to your personalized test result.
Proteins in the blood ware broken down by enzymes shortly after collection. The amount of information contained in blood therefore depends heavily on how quickly the blood sample is processed. This process is difficult to control. Urine, on the other hand, is a very stable information carrier. By the time the urine leaves the bladder, the enzymes' breakdown processes are already complete. Therefore, your urine sample can be transported unrefrigerated in a urine tube containing the stabilizer.

Do you have questions?
Why is clinical proteomic analysis the key to modern medicine?
Diseases originate at the molecular level (= proteins) of the body. It is at this level that the biochemical processes that cause disease, as well as their treatment, take place. Diseases are usually not caused by changes in a single protein, but rather by several. A comprehensive qualitative and quantitative assessment of proteins is necessary to accurately describe diseases. The current state of the body is particularly important. This state is described by its proteins. This protein level remains inaccessible to other "omics" technologies and can only be deciphered using proteomic analysis.
