[Diagnosis of leucocytes in urine by means of a test-strip (author's transl)]. 1979

D Banauch

A test-strip for diagnosing urinary leucocytes (Cytur) was evaluated by 11 centres, on a total of 1985 voided urine specimens. Results were compared with chamber counting of uncentrifuged urine, as well as by microscopic examination of spun sediment. With a reaction time of 15 minutes the test-strip compared well with the other two methods. When urine is allowed to stand, the lysis of leucocytes exaggerates the colour reaction of the test-strip. Red blood cells, bacteria, sperm and nitrite in urine do not influence the results, except Trichomonas which increases the reaction. Ascorbic acid and albumin slightly inhibit the reaction.

D000418	Albumins	Water-soluble proteins found in egg whites, blood, lymph, and other tissues and fluids. They coagulate upon heating.	Albumin
D001205	Ascorbic Acid	A six carbon compound related to glucose. It is found naturally in citrus fruits and many vegetables. Ascorbic acid is an essential nutrient in human diets, and necessary to maintain connective tissue and bone. Its biologically active form, vitamin C, functions as a reducing agent and coenzyme in several metabolic pathways. Vitamin C is considered an antioxidant.
