Chemical Screening of Urine by Reagent Strip
False Positive and Negative Urine Bilirubin Results

False Positive BilirubinFalse positive results may occur when patients are on large doses of chloropromazine, and may occur in the presence of metabolites of phenazopyridine. When these compounds are present, the urine becomes red. Metabolites of Lodine® (etodolac) may cause false positive or atypical results. False Negative BilirubinFalse negative bilirubin dipstick results are often due to testing a specimen that is not fresh. Bilirubin breaks down when exposed to light. Indoxyl sulfate (Indican) can produce a yellow orange-to-red color response which may interfere with the interpretation of a positive or negative reaction. Positive nitrites due to a urinary tract infection may also cause a false negative result.
