Protein in Combur 10

Combur 10 is a type of urinalysis test strip used primarily to detect various substances in urine, such as glucose, protein, blood, ketones, and others. When you mention "Protein in Combur 10," you are likely referring to the protein test pad on the Combur 10 urine test strip.

Protein Test in Combur 10:

• The protein pad on Combur 10 test strips is designed to detect the presence of albumin (the main protein in urine that indicates proteinuria).
• The test is typically based on the "protein error of indicators" principle, where the pad changes color in the presence of protein.
• The protein pad can detect protein concentrations starting around 10-30 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) in urine.
• Results are usually semi-quantitative and given as negative, trace, +, ++, +++, etc., corresponding to increasing protein concentrations.

Clinical Relevance:

• The presence of protein in urine (proteinuria) can indicate kidney disease, urinary tract infections, or other systemic conditions such as hypertension or diabetes.
• Quantitative follow-up tests may be needed if the protein test strip is positive.
