Microalbuminuria
PUC
The random urine samples are being processed using Roche/Hitachi Cobas 501 analyzer system by Immunoturbidimetric assay with Roche reagent cassettes. Before running the samples, quality control procedures are being followed using Roche precinorm PUC and Precipath PUC. Besides, a monthly Biorad EQAS urine chemistry programme including microalbumin and creatinine is also being followed. Cobas 501 system automatically calculates microalbumin 24-h, random and microalbumin and creatinine ratio.
