Verification of the Reliability of an Automated Urine Test Strip Colorimetric Program Using Colorimetric Analysis: Survey Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One method for noninvasive and simple urinary microalbumin testing is urine test strips. However, when visually assessing urine test strips, accurate assessment may be difficult due to environmental influences-such as lighting color and intensity-and the physical and psychological influences of the assessor. These complicate the formation of an objective assessment.

objectives

This study developed an "automated urine test strip colorimetric program" (hereinafter referred to as "this program") to objectively assess urine test strips. Using this program may allow urine tests to be conducted at home. In this study, urine samples from hospitalized or outpatient patients were randomly obtained, and the reliability of this program was verified by comparing the agreement
