Urine Strip

Urine Strip

1. FUNDAMENTALS OF THE METHOD

   • The sample reacts with the dried dried reagents to a solid phase which is adhered to a support plastic. Reagents are provided for the detection of urobilinole, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, proteins, nitrite, pH, blood, density, leukocytes and ascorbic acid

2. PRECAUTIONS

   • Urine test strips child for use diagnosis "and are intended for professional use. Whenever blood or fluid samples are handled corporal compliance observe universal precautions recommended by the Centers for Disease Control. These precautions include the use of gloves. All reagents and samples should be discarded according to local regulations in force

3. EXPECTED VALUES

   • Urobilinogen: in this test, the normal range of urobilymph ratio is 0.1 to 1.0 mg / dl. If the results exceed the concentration of 2.0 mg / dl, the patient and / or the sample of urine will require further study
   • Glucose: glucose is usually not detected in urine, although a small amount of it is excre - normal kidney.
   • Ketones: ketone bodies should not be detected in normal urine using this reagent. May appear ketone bodies in the presence of vomiting, day - digestive disturbances, pregnancy, or severe physical exercise
   • Bilirubin: bilirubin is not detectable in urine in individuals still healthy by the most sensitive methods. A elevation is indicative of disease and is the early sign of cell disease
   • Proteins: urine samples usually with - have some proteins (0-4 mg / dl). Therefore only levels persistently high levels of urinary proteins a kidney or urinary tract disease. The results persistent proteins in trace amounts or greater, significant proteinuria, resulting additional analyzes. Pathological proteinuria usually gives results above 30 mg / dl and is persistent
   • Nitrites: any degree of pink coloration after 30 - infectious disease indicates clinically significant bacteriuria, - infection of the kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra
   • pH: normal urine is slightly acidic with a pH of 6, - the usual range of 5 to 8. It is an important indicator of gastrointestinal, respiratory and metabolic renal factors
   • Leukocytes: there are usually no detectable leukocytes in urine. The appearance of traces in a single apple is questionable clinical significance. If, however, they are observed positive results should be a later study of the patient. In women's urine it is possible to find leukocytes occasionally due to vaginal infection
