Introduction
There

7/10/2011 Urine Pregancy Test Urine Pregancy Test

are two types of pregnancy

tests, one uses a urine sample, the other a sample of blood.

Both

tests detect the presence of a called human chorionic

hormone

gonadotropin (hCG).

33

7/10/2011

Contd
This

hormone is produced by the

Urine Pregancy Test Urine Pregancy Test

placenta shortly after the embryo attaches to the uterine lining and builds up rapidly in body within the first few days of pregnancy.

Principles
Urine

is added to the test kit and to migrate through the

Urine Pregancy Test Urine Pregancy Test

allowed

absorbent device.

The

labeled antibody-dye conjugate an antibody-antigen

binds to the hCG in the specimen forming complex.

55

7/10/2011

Contd
This

complex binds to the anti-hCG in the test zone and

Urine Pregancy Test Urine Pregancy Test

antibody

produces a purple color band when the hCG concentration is equal to or greater than 20 mIU/ml.

In

the absence of hCG, no band is

formed in the test zone.

Urine Collection and Storage

First

morning urine typically contains the highest concentration of hCG and is therefore the best sample for performing the urine test. However, any urine specimen may be used the urine specimen in a clean glass or plastic container. Preservatives are not used.

If

the specimen is not used immediately following collection, but is to be used within 48 hours it should be refrigerated (2 to 8 degrees C), and brought back to room temperature (l5 to 30 degrees C) before testing. specimen is not going to be used for more than 48 hours, it should be frozen at -20 degrees C.

Remove

the test cassette from the

foil pouch just before use and place on clean dry surface.

Using

the disposable pink pipette,

dispense 3 drops of urine into the Round Sample Well.

Wait

for colored bands to appear,

minutes. Do not interpret test results after 5 minutes

Interpretation of Results
NEGATIVE:

7/10/2011

If there is only one purple color band in the result window, this indicates that the specimen does not contain a detectable level of hCG and should be interpreted as a negative result If there are two purple color bands in the result window, this indicates that the specimen contains hCG and should be interpreted as

POSITIVE:

INVALID: If there is no purple color bands in the result window, the test result is invalid. The control band will not appear if an insufficient volume of specimen is added into the test kit. RESULT: If blood or protein is present in your urine. And certaindrugs, such as tranquilizers, anti-convulsants, or hypnotics, may also cause false-positive results.

ELISA method
Urine

sample is passes through solid support which having Anti hCG antibodies if present in test urine competes with hCG enzyme conjugate for binding to the antibody preventing the attachment of enzyme to the solid support. normal urine end point will be colorless and for pregnancy urine

Expected Normal Values

Urine

hCG levels during pregnancy are estimated to be 1. 10-30 mIU/ml 7-10 days post conception. 2. 37,000-50,000 mIU/ml 8-11 weeks after last menstrual period. 3. <5 mIU/ml Healthy men or nonpregnant women.

Sensitivity
The

Urine Pregnancy Test will detect hCG in urine at concentrations of 20 mlU/ml or greater. sensitivity level has been confirmed with interval hCG standards in urine, calibrated against the World Health Organization First International Standard.

Disadvantages
Disadvantagesover 1.

2.

blood test It take more time to detect a pregnancy, which is less in blood test, earlier than a urine test at about3-10 days from possible conception Cant measure the concentration of hCG hormone blood (which is useful information in tracking certain problems in pregnancy)

Limitations
Urine

normal pregnancy cannot be

distinguished from an ectopic pregnancy based only on hCG levels

25 25

Contd
A

negative result obtained from a urine specimen collected from a mother in very early pregnancy may be due to an extremely low concentration of hCG. a urine sample is too dilute (i.e. low specific gravity), it may not contain a representative urinary hCG concentration leads to negative
