This Toilet Tablet Changes Color When It Detects Kidney Disease - Yanko Design

The magic happens through a clever chemical reaction. When the tablet dissolves, it releases a special reagent that changes color if it detects urinary albumin, a protein that shouldn't normally be present in healthy urine. When your kidneys start having trouble, they begin leaking this protein, and Urify catches it red-handed, literally changing color to alert you. This isn't just a neat science experiment. We're talking about a condition that affects an estimated 800 million people worldwide.
