What is the principle of Reagent strip in PROTEIN?
‘protein error of indicators’
More sensitive to ALBUMIN than globulin
Reagent strip
pH of the protein-testing portion is kept at:
3.0
Where does albumin in urine binds to?
Dye
What color does the dye shifts into its spectrum after binding?
Yellow to Green
Interfering substances in Protein
High alkaline urine (false positive)
Best single indicator of renal abnormality
Proteinuria
Associated with multiple myeloma, orthostatic proteinuria and strenuous exercise
Proteiniuria
Detected by sensitive albumin tests
Microalbuminuria
Periodic monitoring benefits patients with diabetes, hypertension, and peripheral vascular disease
Microalbuminuria
Enables patients with low levels of albuminuria to begin treatment before kidney disease occurs
Microalbuminuria
Renal threshold for diabetes
160-180 mg/dL
It analyzed diabetes renal threshold
Glucose reagent strip
Principle of reagent strip in GLUCOSE
glucose oxidase
