We studied and compared results of two urine dip-stick procedures for protein with those of quantitative measurements of total protein and albumin in urine. Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of "normal" and "abnormal" dip-stick results, assay efficiency, technologist precision, and meth...
The accuracy and precision of urinary pH determinations using commercially available dipsticks were studied. Two products were evaluated by 17 MT(ASCP) technologists over the pH range 4.5 to 9.0. The study included accuracy, reproducibility, variation among technologists, and variation between produ...
Mean difference (+/- 2 SD) between the 2 methods was 0.1 +/- 0.9 pH units. Only 65 of 164 (40%) samples measured by use of a dipstrip were within 0.25 pH units of results obtained by use of the pH meter. CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: When an accurate measurement of urine pH is critical for clinical decisio...
