Abstract:The automated urine reagent strip test is a cost-effective tool for detecting albuminuria in patients. However, prior research has not investigated how urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect the test’s accuracy. Therefore, this study aims to assess the impact of UTIs on albuminuria diagnosis using both the biochemical quantitative method and the test strip method of the Fully Automatic Urine Chemistry Analyzer, UC-3500 (Sysmex, Kobe, Japan). From March to December 2019, we prospectively collected midstream uri… Show more
