One Step Urine Glucose Test Strips Diabetes Testing Kit 100 Dipsticks

Product Information

However, when the blood glucose levels run very high, glucose is excreted into the urine, resulting in glucosuria.

The specific gravity of urine is a measure of its density compared to H 2O and depends on the quantity and density of solutes (molecules with more mass per volume increase measure of specific gravity). The presence of blood in the urine is, of all the parameters normally tested, the one that is most closely related with traumatic damage to the kidneys or the genitourinary tract.The urine test strip test for specific gravity is based on the change in dissociation constant (pK a) of an anionic polyelectrolyte (poly-(methyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride)) in an alkali medium that is ionised and releases hydrogen ions in proportion to the number of cations present in the solution. Those medicines that contain sulfhydryl groups, such as mercaptoethane sulphonate Na ( Mesna) and captopril and L-DOPA can give atypical colouring.

A number of substances interfere with the Ehrlich reaction on the Multistix strip: porphobilinogen, indican, p-amino salicylic acid, sulphonamide, methyldopa, procaine and chlorpromazine. Urine test strips can also be used for monitoring the urine of a diabetic for glucose where blood glucose testing is not possible or desirable. Type 2 diabetes develops most often in people who are overweight and who live a sedentary lifestyle.The complex process of reabsorption is usually one of the first renal functions to be affected by disease.
