Measurement method of body secretion

摘要

The method involves measuring an, at least partially fluid, substance excreted by a creature, whereby an absorbent element is arranged in a relatively even body area. The absorbent element is removed from the body area at the end of a detection duration, and is supplied to predetermined quantity of a solvent (5), e.g. deionized water. At least one reference substance describing the body secretion is dissolved by the solvent from the absorbent element, and at least one parameter of the combination of solvent and the reference substance is measured. A probe may be inserted to measure salt content or conductivity.
