چکیده
deficiency. It is not applicable to newborn or mass screening with use of ifiterpaper specimens, but is satisfactory for liquid urine screening. In one variant of sulfite oxidase deficiency, due to a defect of its molybdate cofactor metabolism, the concentration of uric acid in serum is decreased. Thus, an unexplained low serum uric acid, especially in a young patient with neurologic abnormalities, is an indication for a urine thiosulfate test.

A reagent strip for measuring the specific gravity of urine.
A solid-phase reagent for determination of urinary specific gravity (relative density) is described. This reagent strip, similar to others in the "N-Multistix" series (Ames), contains a polyacid whose acidity is sensitive to the ionic concentration in the urine in which it is immersed. As the acidity of the polyacid changes, pH changes are detected by a pH indicator within the reagent strip. In...
متن کاملAscorbic acid interference in reagent-strip reactions for assay of urinary glucose and hemoglobin.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid), commonly taken as a dietary supplement and excreted in the urine, can interfere with peroxidase redox indicator systems such as those used in reagent-strip tests for urinary glucose and hemoglobin. We investigated whether the concentrations of ascorbic acid in urine after modest supplementary doses of vitamin C are high enough to interfere with such dipstick tests. Af...
متن کاملStatistical comparison of blood glucose as determined by several test-strip procedures and by a hexokinase procedure.
We report a new statistical tool for comparing several dry-reagent strip procedures for whole blood glucose, which produce data in both digital and ordinal form, with results by the well-studied hexokinase-glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase procedure coupled to NAD+-NADH. Our use of "ordinal comparison unit" allows for a more equitable comparison of such data. These strip procedures produce bias...
متن کاملSpurious hyperglycaemia--a hazard of finger prick blood glucose estimation.
Two diabetic patients presented in coma to the accident and emergency department. Although they were hypoglycaemic, the initial blood glucose reagent strip readings were high. We postulate that glucose contamination of their fingers occurred and resulted in spuriously high readings. A small survey highlights the problems resulting from such contamination. Correct handling of blood glucose reage...
متن کاملAdaptation of Prostatic-Group-Label Homogeneous Immunoassay to reagent-strip format.
The Prostatic-Group-Label Immunoassay (PGLIA) technique has been incorporated into a reagent-strip format. We report use of flavin N6-(N'-2,4-dinitrophenyl-6-aminohexyl)adenine dinucleotide (DNP-FAD) as the prosthetic group derivative and 6-N-(2,4-dinitrophenyl)aminohexanoic acid (DNP-caproate) as the competing ligand. DNP-FAD not bound by antibody combines with glucose oxidase apoenzyme, which...
