"Ictotest has been used as the “gold standard” method to confirm urine strip positive bilirubin results in several different clinical studies. We are planning an additional study here at Kentucky Clinical Trials Laboratory as well. The value added here is the fact that Ictotest has been known to reduce the number of false positive results. This would, in turn, impact both the care and cost of care of patients."
Ictotest® Reagent Tablets are used to test for the presence of bilirubin in urine. The presence of bilirubin is an important finding in the evaluation of liver function and a positive detection could be an indication of liver disease such as jaundice, cirrhosis or hepatitis. Hospital and laboratories rely on the quality of Siemens’ Ictotest reagent tablets to confirm bilirubin results prior to providing the results to their customers.
