Creatinine dipsticks are available, and could be used alongside KIM-1 to aid interpretation. Previous studies have shown, however, that absolute levels of biomarkers may be as useful as normalized values in detecting increases in kidney tubular injury in rodents and patients.5,12 In summary, we...
As part of ANC clinics, urine is routinely sampled for dipstick analysis of glucose and protein and WHO recommends midstream urine culture for the diagnosis of ASB [39]. The dipslide devices presently used were affordable (cost approximately 1 €/device) and user-friendly; they have a long ...
Other clinical data of the participants were obtained using the urinary dipstick test. The average value of specific gravity (SG) is 1.02 (min: 1.005, max: 1.030, SD: 0.009) for ASD+ children and 1.028 (min: 1.020, max: 1.030, SD: 0.009) for the control group (p = 0.163). The...
Authors conclude that in this group of patients proteinuria should be initially checked in dipstick screening test and if the result is positive, the ACR should be performed; in the case of ACR being unavailable an alternative should be the spot urine P/C ratio. The recommended cutoffs for ...
