Heat and Acetic acid method :
- A clean 4 inc test tube 3/4 of the urine should be taken and with the help of Spirit lamp to heat the upper part of this test tube.
- Observe if the upper part is cloudy.
- Now add 4-5 drops in 5% acetic acid dropper to the test tube and heat again.
- After heating, see if the surface of the tube is cloudy. If there is very little blur, then albumin trace should be written in the report.
- If Cloudy is more then you have to write (+), (++), (+++) to understand the condition and quantity.
- If you are not absolutely Cloudy, you have to write albumin nil or absent.
Another name of heat and acetic acid method is called "Heat Coagulation Method"
Quick Test:
Albumin sulphosalicylic acid method:
- Take 1 ml urine in a test tube and mix 4-5 drops 20% sulphosalicylic acid with it.
- If the mixture is not cloudy after mixing, then it should be understood that there is no albumin in the urine.
- And if the mixture becomes cloudy then you will understand that there is albumin in urine.
- If it is very light, you have to write albumin trace in the report.
- If it is a little too thick, write albumin (+), if it is more than (++), if it is like milk (+++) and if it is too thick, it is like albumin (++++) or Write (4+).
Urine albumin test by Nitric acid:
- Take 2ml Fumming Nitric acid in a test tube.
- Now take 2ml urine in test tube. (slowly through the side of the test tube).
- If white ring is seen at the junction of acid and urine then protein is present in urine; (Appearance of white ring at the junction of the two fluids indicates the presence of protein.)
