2.AMORPHOUS URATES
Causes Acid urine
✓ Emphysema
✓ Diabetes mellitus
✓ Starvation
✓ Dehydration
✓ Diarrhea
✓ Presence of acid-producing
bacteria (Escherichia coli)
✓ High-protein diet
✓ Cranberry juice
✓ Medications (methenamine
mandelate [Mandelamine],
fosfomycin tromethamine
[Monurol])
IT CAUSES
✓ Hyperventilation
✓ Vomiting
✓ Renal tubular acidosis
✓ Presence of urease producing
bacteria
✓ Vegetarian diet
✓ Old specimen
“HPORVV”
Alkaline urine
PROTEIN principle
Principle: protein error of indicator
PROTEIN reagent
Multistix:
Chemstrip:
Multistix: Tetrabromophenol blue
✓ Chemstrip: 3’,3’’,5’,5’’-tetrachlorophenol 3,4,5,6-
tetrabromosulfophthalein
Sensitivity of protein
Multistix: ________________________________
✓ Chemstrip: ____________________
Multistix: 15-30 g/dL albumin
✓ Chemstrip: 6mg/dL albumin more sensitive
• Highly buffered interference alkaline urine
• Pigmented specimens, phenazopyridine
• Quaternary ammonium compounds
(detergents)
• Antiseptics, chlorhexidine
• Loss of buffer from prolonged exposure of the
strip to the specimen reagent
• High specific gravity
False positive result in protein
False neg in protein
• Proteins other than albumin
• Microalbuminuria
Correlation in protein

Glucose principle
Double sequential enzymatic reaction
Multistix and chemstrip of glucose
Multistix: potassium iodide (green to
brown)
▪ Chemstrip: tetramethylbenzidine (yellow
to green
Glucose + O2 air______ _> Gluconic acid + H202 hydorgen peroxide. What is the first catalyst in glucose parameter
Glucose oxidase
Protein negative result
Yellow
Protein positive result?
Blue green
Protein concentration increase result to?
GREEN BLUE
H2O2 + chromogen________ -> oxidized colored chromogen +H2O
What is the 2nd catalyst in glucose
Peroxidase
Is used if the px is allergic to iodine
