Intended Use

For the quantitative in vitro determination of total protein in urine and c.s.f. This product is suitable for manual use and on the Rx Monza.


Clinical Significance


Determination of Total Protein in urine and cerebrospinal fluid is valuable in the diagnosis of renal and central nervous system disorders respectively.

When kidney damage is present protein levels in the urine increase, the amount of protein present is more often than not associated with disease severity. As well as kidney damage higher than normal levels of protein in the urine (Proteinuria) are associated with several other conditions including strenuous exercise, fever, hypothermia, nephrosis, diabetic nephropathy and urinary tract infections.

Determination of total protein in cerebrospinal fluid aids in the diagnosis of such conditions as meningitis, CNS tumours and cerebral haemorrhage.


Principle


Pyrogallol red complexes with proteins in an acid environment containing molybdate ions. The resulting blue-coloured complex absorbs maximally at 600 nm. Therefore the optical density at 600 nm is directly proportional to the protein concentration of the samples.
