Method for quantitative determination of hemoglobin in urine

Abstract

It is known that in glomerulonephritis, kidney and bladder tumors, pyelitis, cystitis, as well as during menstruation, a blood dye may appear in the urine - hemoglobin, which enters the urine from the blood flowing in the kidneys and urinary tract, or separately (hemoglobinuria). Along with hemoglobin, blood formed elements, often altered – hematuria, can also enter the urine. Hematuria occurs in many pathological conditions, so it is always necessary to find out the cause of a positive test result. To definitively determine the cause of this pathology, it is necessary to have a method for quantitative determination of hemoglobin in the urine
