Why positive results from protein test strips in urine samples in men can put the patient's health at risk due to over-treatment
Year: 2021
Type: report
Abstract: Testing for microscopic blood traces, protein and other parameters by means of test strips has been a standard method in general medical and urological practices for years, but also in private settings. We report a potential source of error in the measurement of protein content of urine in men, which has never been addressed in the manufacturer's instructions or in other publications.
