The Effect of Haematocrit on Reagent Strip Tests for Glucose

Diabetic Medicine, 1991
Four blood glucose reagent strips (BM‐Test 1–44, Glucostix, Hypoguard GA, and Exactech), used in conjunction with measuring devices produced by the same manufacturer, were investigated with respect to the influence of haematocrit. The erythrocytes and plasma of fresh blood samples were separated, then remixed in different proportions to achieve a range

Reagent Strip Method For Specific Gravity: An Evaluation

Laboratory Medicine, 1985
The colorimetric reagent strip method for the determination of specific gravity of urine, N-Multistix SGa, was evaluated. Reagent strips read visually and with the Clini-Teka instrument were compared with each other and with the commonly used refractometer and urinometer methods. Precision studies show the four methods to be comparable. A comparison of

Validity of HydraTrend Reagent Strips for the Assessment of Hydration Status

Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research, 2014
Hydration is used by athletic governing organizations for weight class eligibility. The measurement of urine specific gravity (USG) as a measure of hydration by reagent strips is a controversial issue. The purpose of this study was to determine the validity of HydraTrend reagent strips that facilitate the correction of USG for alkaline urine samples ...

Are Blood Glucose Reagent Strips Reliable in Renal Failure?

Diabetic Medicine, 1991
In vitro studies have suggested that a low packed cell volume may cause reagent strips to overestimate blood glucose concentration. The reliability of such strips has therefore been investigated in diabetic patients with end‐stage renal failure, all of whom had low haematocrits (24 ± 4 (± SD)%).

Reagent Strip Glucose Monitoring Methods in Chronic Hemodialysis

Diabetes Care, 1985
Reagent strip blood glucose testing methods have not been extensively validated in dialysis patients, a serious omission as thousands of diabetic patients are now entering dialysis. Severe anemia and uremia are potentially confounding variables that might impair those testing methods. Various methods were tested pre- and postdialysis, and compared with

Reagent strips in the evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid glucose levels

Annals of Tropical Paediatrics, 1987
The value of Visidex IIR, Haemo-Glukotest 20-800RR, MultistixR and DextrostixR reagent strips--the latter alone or in combination with a glucometer--in the determination of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) glucose levels has been evaluated and compared with the results of a standard glucose oxidase method (Beckman). Fifty-four CSF specimens were evaluated and

Reagent strip diagnosis of UTI in a high-risk population

The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2002
A study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of reagent strip diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in patients seen in the ED who were subsequently admitted to hospital with this diagnosis. The reagent strip results of 100 patients were recorded and the sensitivity and specificity of various parameters in the diagnosis of UTI were calculated.

Evaluation of Reagent Strips for the Rapid Diagnosis of Nitrite Poisoning

Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 1992
Two commercial urine test strips based on the Griess nitrite-specific diazonium salt reaction, having sulfanilamide and para-arsanilic acid as substrates, respectively, were studied as qualitative tests in the rapid diagnosis of nitrite/nitrate poisoning. Their usefulness was compared to other rapid tests, such as the sulfanilic acid-1 naphthylamin and
