Urine Sugar Determination by the Two-drop Clinitest Method

Abstract: Erroneous urine tests for sugar can result from many causes. The Clinitest method carried out in the usual recommended way (five drops of urine) is accurate in the 0 to 2 per cent sugar concentration range. Over 4 per cent, there is a reversal of color which can be mistaken for 0.75 or 1 per cent and which is referred to as “pass through.” When two drops of urine are used instead of five, the range of Clinitest change is extended from 0 to 5 per cent and the “pass through” delayed until a concentration over 10… Show more

“…The means and ranges of urine glucose levels at random, fasting, and during the GTT for hyperglucosuric diabetics, normoglucosuric nondiabetics, and renal and nonrenal hyperglucosuric nondiabetics are summarized in table 3-The seven diabetics diagnosed by three fasting plasma glucose levels above 150 had marked fasting hyperglucosuria, but five of the 15 diagnosed (USPHS criteria) during glucose tolerance testing had fasting normoglucosuria (4,8,12,20,22). During the GTT, urine glucose in these 15 individuals ranged from 429 to 7,400.…”

“…MATERIALS AND METHODS 1,952 patients not known to have diabetes were screened by measuring the RUG by the ORM glucose analyzer 6 and the 2 Drop Clinitest method, 8 in the Grady Memorial Hospital General Adult Clinic between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Age, sex, race, family history of diabetes, height, weight, and ideal body weight (Hamwi formula) were recorded. Time and amount of prior food intake was not recorded.…”
