Home monitoring of general urine test for metaphylactic urinary disease (review)

Purpose: of the review is to demonstrate the capabilities of telemedicine technologies in one nosology - urolithiasis. The article discusses both promising and currently available technologies for remote dynamic monitoring of patients with diagnosed urolithiasis based on the data of general urine analysis based on materials from foreign (PubMed - 21 publications) and domestic (eLibrary- 11 publications) literature, published between 2007 and 2021. The search was carried out according to the phrases «urolithiasis», «remote monitoring», «urinary analyzer», «test strips», «urine pH», «pH-selfie-control». Today, there are no standardized methods that could be offered to the patient as a single standard for home monitoring of urolithiasis. The available analyzers, pH meters, diagnostic strips, test strips, collector devices for determining the acidity and density of urine in patients with ICD are characterized by a certain level of error. However, in most cases they provide good performance combined with ease of use. Devices of this type have yet to truly take their place in the market. The introduction of remote technologies into medical practice is already a fait accompli, which, in our opinion, will continue to develop in the coming years.
