Medical Forum / General / Laboratory / January 2006Clinitest
Anyone still doing clinitest on _adults_ (note, I did not say infants) when the chemstips > 250 mg/dl (low sensitivity limit)? I see no CAP requirement, and assume this is merely an archaic hang over in our procedures. Thanks __________________ Did you ever hear one of these corny, positive messages on someone's answering machine? "Hi, it's a great day and I'm out enjoying it right now. I hope you are too. The thought for the day is: "Share the love." Beep! "Uh, yeah ... this is the VD clinic calling ... speaking of being positive, your test results are back. Stop sharing the love." -Andy Rooney > Anyone still doing clinitest on _adults_ (note, I did not say infants) when > the chemstips > 250 mg/dl (low sensitivity limit)?

We also don't do ketone or protein checks anymore. The only confirmation is bile ictotest from chemstrips on adults. > __________________ > Did you ever hear one of these corny, positive messages on someone's > answering machine?

If not doing the other confirmatory tests: 1) Why do the ictotest and no the others? How does one draw the line? I note that there still is a phase 1 question on the 2005 (April) list addressing the isuue of possible confirmatory testing. How is this issue addressed without confirmatory testing |
