Snoring Can Be Detected Through a Urine Test
How dangerous is snoring? Better yet, how do you classify your snoring? Technically it is impossible to distinguish snoring types but a study from the University of Chicago revealed that you can do so through urine testing. Researchers analyzed 90 children who had been referred to a clinic to be evaluated for experiencing breathing problems while sleeping, and 30 controls, and it was then discovered that children who had been diagnosed with dangerous snoring showed an increase in a number of proteins in their urine.
All the children went through standard overnight tests and some were then diagnosed as suffering from obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA). The research team has stressed that while these findings need to be repeated, these could lead to development of a simple enough test.
