  • Title: Detection of microalbuminuria in diabetic patients using a simple latex agglutination test.
    Author: Spooner RJ, Weir RJ, Frier BM.
    Journal: Clin Chim Acta; 1987 Jul 15; 166(2-3):247-53. PubMed ID: 3621602.
    Abstract:
    The adaptation of an immunoturbidimetric assay to quantitatively measure urinary albumin is described and this was used to evaluate a commercial latex agglutination slide test, Albuscreen, with a sensitivity of 25 mg/l. Excellent agreement was observed between the two methods, and in clinical studies an acceptable classification of patients was made using Albuscreen, an albumin: creatinine ratio of less than or equal to 2.5 being used to indicate possible microalbuminuria. A small number of false negative and false positive results occurred in some dilute and concentrated urine samples, respectively.
