Dipstick analysis of urine chemistry: benefits and limitations of dry chemistry-based assays
Postgraduate medicine, 2019Urinalysis is a commonly utilized laboratory test, and analysis of urine has been studied and used since ancient times. Urine contains a wide array of metabolites that can provide information regarding the current physiologic state of the body and ...

Proteinuria‐What Value is the Dipstick?
British Journal of Urology, 1989Summary— The value of the urinary dipstick in the assessment of proteinuria was investigated in a study correlating laboratory measurements of protein and albumin against the dipstick protein in the same samples of urine; 94 patients (100 admissions) were studied at the Royal Air Force Renal Unit, each patient collecting two 24‐h urine samples.

Dipstick Evaluation of Hematuria in Abdominal Trauma
American Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1988Urine microscopic evaluation of hematuria has traditionally been used to determine the need for an intravenous pyelogram (IVP) in individuals with blunt abdominal trauma. An IVP is generally advocated in cases where greater than 5-10 red blood cells per high power field (RBC/HPF) are identified.

Questions About Dipstick Screening
Pediatrics, 1978Many EPSDT protocols either suggest or specify that testing for bacteriuria be part of the complete screening examination. Hence those of us active in the nationwide EPSDT program tend to dissect all reports on childhood screening in order to see which offer lessons applicable for local usage. When doing this with the report by Kunin et al., "Detection

Dipstick Pseudohematuria: Unnecessary Consultation and Evaluation
Journal of Urology, 2010While many primary care providers advocate routine screening urinalyses, a heme positive dipstick test often leads to a false-positive diagnosis of hematuria, or pseudohematuria. Thus, American Urological Association guidelines recommend urological evaluation for asymptomatic patients only for at least 3 red blood cells per high power field in 2 of 3 ...

JAMA, 1985
Results of this study indicated that a protein-negative, blood-negative dipstick result may be used to rule out the necessity for performing a microscopic examination in "routine urinalysis" only if one is willing to accept 13% false-negative results. On the other hand, a protein-, blood-, and leukocyte esterase-negative dipstick result was associated ...

Screening Dipstick Urinalysis: A Time to Change
Pediatrics, 1997Objective. This study attempted to determine the minimal cost of screening dipstick urinalyses in a hypothetical cohort of 2000 asymptomatic pediatric patients in a primary care setting.Methodology. The minimal cost utilizing a private practitioner in an urban or suburban group pediatric setting was calculated.

Interpretation of Specific Gravity by Dipstick
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1988Sir .—The widespread use of dipsticks such as the Ames N-Multistix-SG strip (Miles Laboratories, Elkhart, Ind) has some built-in problems as well as a form of medical laboratory absurdity. Comments have been made in the more general literature, but to date we have not read a comment in a pediatric journal.

The Use of Dipsticks to Detect Chlamydia in Males
JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1990To the Editor.— Shafer et al1reported the usefulness of urine dipsticks for testing urine samples from males for microscopic pus, the presence of which correlates well with the presence of bothChlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. These results are similar to our own published in 19882but not mentioned by Shafer et al. We found that the 95%
