Frequently Asked Questions about Urine Test Strips
Each test field changes colour on contact with urine. This colour reaction is compared with the reference colour scale on the container after a defined reading time. Each parameter has its own scale, allowing the colour gradation to correspond directly to a semi-quantitative value. It is essential to adhere to the specified reaction time, as reading too early or too late may distort the result.
Depending on the strip type, approximately three to eleven parameters can be assessed. Common combination strips test for glucose, ketones, nitrite, bilirubin, urobilinogen, leucocytes, blood, pH value, protein and specific gravity. Specialised strips focus on a single parameter, such as microalbumin for nephropathy screening.
When used correctly, urine test strips provide reliable semi-quantitative screening and accurately indicate abnormal findings. They classify results into concentration ranges but do not replace quantitative laboratory analysis. Instead, they serve as a rapid screening tool to guide further diagnostic measures. Consistent storage conditions and adherence to reading times are essential for dependable results.
The most common interfering substance is ascorbic acid (vitamin C), which can lead to false-negative results, particularly for glucose and blood. Incorrect reading times, aged samples and improper storage can also affect measurements. Strips that are protected against vitamin C interference or stabilised against ascorbic acid significantly reduce this issue.
In clinical practice, combination strips for routine diagnostics are most commonly used, covering multiple urinary parameters simultaneously. The specific choice depends on the required number of parameters and the evaluation method, whether visual or instrument-based using an analyser. For specific indications such as diabetes monitoring, microalbumin test strips complement the standard range.
