Interferences
Run over from other pads
Old Specimen
Reagent
Methyl red ——– Brothymol Blue
This parameter is an indicator foe early renal disease

IgA
Stages Of Proteinuria
Pre
Renal
Post
Stage of Proteinuria:
-Increase Plasma Protein, excess is sent to the kidneys and cannot be reabsorb
-impaired reabsorptive capacity
-intravascular hemolysis
-inflammation/ septicemia
- bence-jones protein
Pre renal proteinuria
Bence-jones protein
IGs proliferate = impaired reabsorptive capacity
Coagulates at 40° to 60°C & dissolves at 100°C
Methods: Electrophoresis, Immunofixation, Immunoassays
Stages of Proteinuria:
Renal Proteinuria
may be caused by glomerular or tubular damage
Glomerular proteinuria
Toxic substance, L.E, Streptococcal infection
Tubular proteinuria
Toxic substance, Viral infection, Fanconi syndrome
Orthostatic (postural) Proteinuria
vertical posture
Stage of Proteinuria:
Post-renal Proteinuria
from other parts (Ureter, bladder, urethra)
Causes of post renal proteinuria
Bacteria, spermatozoa
Lower UTI
Principle of Protein and Reading time
Protein error of indicators, 60 seconds
Protein:
Specific to ____ , with buffer “____”
Albumin, 3.0
Sensitivity and Reagent
Multistix
Chemstrip
Multistix:15-30 mg/dl Tetrabromphenol blue
Chemstrip = 6 mg/dL 3355 tetrachlorophenol 3456 Tetrabromosulfonphthalein
Interferences: False +
-highly buffered alkaline urine
-high SG
-antiseptics
-loss of buffer
-chlorhexidine
-phenazopyridine, detergents
Interferences of protein: False (-)
-prolonged contact with urine
-globulins,
-microalbumin,
-high salt concentration
Microalbimunuria
Presence of albumin in urine
above normal levels but below detectable levels
Microalbimunuria
Seen in type ___ & ____ DM
1 and 2
Microalbuminuria:
Albumin/24hrs _______mg is significantl
30-300mg
Micral test
EIA principle
Rgt: Gold-labelled anti-human albumin antibody-enzyme conjugate
Dip for 5 seconds
Wait 1 minute before reading
White to Red = Albumin
Sensitivity = 0-10mg/dL False (-)= dilute urine
Protein Interpretation:
Trace = <30mg/dL
+1 = 30mg/dL
+2 = 100mg/dL
+3 = 300mg/dL
+4=2000mg/dL
Correlate the Protein Chem Exam To:
Blood Nitrite WBC
Confirmatory Test for Proteins:
Sulfosalicylic acid Precipitation test
Sulfosalicylic acid Precipitation test:
Centrifuge at_____ speed
low
Sulfosalicylic acid Precipitation test
procedure:
3ml 3% SSA + 3ml Centrifuged urine= mix then check result
Sulfosalicylic acid Precipitation test
False (+):
Mucin
Uric Acid
Penicillin,
Tolbutamides,
Sulfonamides,
Radio contrast media,
Cephalosporins
Sulfosalicylic acid Precipitation test
False (-)
-highly buffered alkaline urine
Sulfosalicylic acid Precipitation test
Reporting:
Negative (<6 mg/dL)
Trace (6-30 mg/dL)
Positive then grading:
1+= (<30-100 mg/dL) Distinct turbidity, no granulation
2+=(100-200 mg/dL) Turbidity with granulation, no flocculation
3+=(200-400 mg/dL) with Turbidity, Granulation and Flocculation
4+= (>400 mg/dL) Clumps of protein
more sensitive for Microalbuminuria
Albumin-Creatinine Ratio:

sulfonephthalein
pseudoperoxidase activity of copper creatinine complex
Creatinine
Albumin-Creatinine Ratio:

-Peroxide
-Tetramethylbenzidine
Albumin-Creatinine Ratio:
PAD with H2O2 + TMB=

Ketones: Types
