Detection of Urinary Bilirubin

The Ictotest®

False positive results can occur in screening procedures for bilirubin due to color interference from large amounts of blood in the urine, very concentrated urine or drugs that discolor the urine such as Pyridium. Because of this it is important to verify positive bilirubin results with a confirmatory test such as the Ictotest®.
