Simulating Proteinuria: A Model of Renal Failure

Zenia Saxena
Westmount Mid/High School

Using Urinalysis Strips, I want to understand if kidney failure can be simulated by gradually increasing protein levels (egg whites) in simulated urine. Observing the urinalysis strip effectiveness, a home based alternative will be attempted to compare.
