This project introduces an Ammonia sensor for Measurement of breath ammonia for detection of patients with chronic kidney disease.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a major global health issue, and current screening methods often rely on invasive blood tests. This study presents the Applied Intelligent Primary Renal Disease Screening Detection System, a non-invasive, real-time device that detects early kidney abnormalities by measuring ammonia concentration in human breath.
When kidney function declines, urea accumulates in the blood and decomposes into ammonia gas, which can be analyzed through exhaled breath. The developed system uses a sensitive ammonia sensor connected to a microcontroller to measure and display ammonia levels (ppm) instantly. A flashing heart icon alerts users when high ammonia levels are detected, indicating possible kidney dysfunction.
Testing confirmed that the device provides accurate, fast, and consistent results, offering a convenient and affordable screening alternative. This innovation has strong potential to enhance early CKD detection, reduce healthcare workloads, and increase accessibility to kidney health monitoring in the community.
