Urine is coagulated by heat and
precipitated by acetic acid (5-10%) and the degree
of turbidity produced is proportional to the amount
of protein present
Heat and Acetic Acid Test
SULFOSALICYLIC ACID (SSA)/COLD PROTEIN
PRECIPITATION
Reagent:
3% SSa
SULFOSALICYLIC ACID (SSA)/COLD PROTEIN
PRECIPITATION PRINCIPLE:
Most proteins are precipitated by dilute SSA
_=radiographic dyes, tolbutamide
metabolites, cephalosporins, penicillinsand sulfonamides
false +
=highly alkaline urine, very dilute
samples
false-
(+) SSA & (+) RgtStrip=
albumin
(+) SSA & (-) RgtStrip=
proteins other than albumin
(-) SSA & (+) RgtStrip=_
albumin
No increase in turbidity
NEGATIVE
Noticeable turbidity
Trace

OTHER TEST FOR PROTEINS IN URINE
HELLER’SRING TEST
HEAT PRECIPITATION TEST
PANDY’S TEST
ESBACH’S TEST
principle of glucose
double sequential enzymatic reaction
reagent of glucose
glucose oxidase peroxidase
Most frequent chemical analysis performed in urine and
synovial fluid detection of:
glucose
_presence of any sugar (reducing or nonreducing in urine).
mellituria
_presence of any reducing sugar in urine
specimen (glucose, lactose, galactose, fructose and
pentose)
glucosuria
HYPERGLYCEMIA
ASSOCIATED
increased in urine increased in blood
RENAL ASSOCIATED
increase urine N blood
