Detection of Urinary Sugars and Reducing Substances
Testing for Reducing Substances Other Than Glucose
Many laboratories perform testing for other reducing substances on pediatric urine specimens if the glucose test on the reagent strip is negative. The cutoff age for this testing is defined by each laboratory based on consultation with the pediatric clinical staff. Verify the policy for your own laboratory.
