Journal ArticleDOI
High-sensitivity dye binding assay for albumin in urine.
TL;DR: A system that minimized nonspecific binding by the dye through the use of polymethyl vinyl ethers and bis‐(heptapropylene glycol) carbonate showed a greater chemical specificity for albumin when compared to most other proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
Assay of creatinine using the peroxidase activity of copper-creatinine complexes.
TL;DR: With the simultaneous measurement of creatinine and albumin in urine, the albumin/creatinine ratio can be determined effectively reducing or eliminating the occasional false-negative and false-positive result in those with dilute or concentrated urines, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sensitive noninvasive marker for the diagnosis of probable bacterial or viral infection.

TL;DR: The data indicate that uTi has sufficient clinical sensitivity for screening systemic infections, and may have diagnostic value as a noninvasive test.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical utility of a rapid test for uristatin.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a reflectance photometer to measure the inhibition of trypsin in the urine of Japanese schoolchildren, ages 5 to 14, and estimated the reference range for uristatin in schoolchildren.
Patent
Total protein detection method
Todd K. Cast,Pugia Michael J +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an improved method for the determination of total protein in an aqueous test fluid such as urine, which involves combining the test fluid with a molybdate or tungstate salt and a dye which forms a complex with molybindate or Tungstate ion at a pH of 10 to 30 to shift the absorption band of the complex in the presence of protein.
