Excerpt from Urinary Tests in Paper and in Tablet Form: Convenient, Cleanly and Competent Methods for Bedside Urinalysis
The Comparative Value of the Newer Tests for Albumin in Urine.
Although the mere presence of albumin in urine can no longer be regarded as anything further than presumptive evidence of damaged kidneys; yet, it has so long formed the basis upon which the diagnosis of renal pathology has been constructed, and, moreover, as an element considered with other symptoms it still holds, and is likely to hold, an important place at least in preliminary investigations of renal disease. There fore, all matters concerning the most reliable and ready methods of detecting the presence of albumin in the urine must remain of practical interest and importance to the general practitioner. Much attention has been given of late to several newly pro posed agents for detecting albumin in urine, both in this country and in Europe. Some of these, it has been claimed, are so exceedingly delicate in reaction as to detect the presence of albumin when the older methods, as by heat and nitric acid, failed to do so completely. Furthermore, most of these agents have been indorsed by some of the best authors on renal diseases, both here and abroad.
