Detection of Urinary Bilirubin

Reporting Ictotest® Results

Since detectable amounts of bilirubin are not normally present in urine, results of the Ictotest® are reported as “positive” or “negative”, there is no quantitation. The sensitivity of Ictotest® is better than dipstick methods or the Harrison test. Ictotest® will detect as little as 0.05-0.10 mg bilirubin/dl urine, making it the procedure of choice for confirming bilirubin in urine specimens.
