Tests for Urinary Protein<br />
A. Precipitation or Turbidimetric Tests<br />
Principle: <strong>The</strong> general principle of these tests is that protein is either<br />
precipitated out of the urine specimen by means of a chemical, which is<br />
usually a strong acid, or it is coagulated out of solution with heat. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
tests include:<br />
- Robert's test<br />
- Heller's test<br />
- Sulphosalicylic Acid Test<br />
- Heat and Acetic Acid Test<br />
Turbidimetric test based on acid reagents are non-specific since any<br />
urine components, which is insoluble in acid, will give a positive result.
