Amidopyrine Test

The amidopyrine test (also known as the gollo test or pyramidon test) is a diagnostic method used in medicine to determine whether a patient has a urinary tract infection (UTI). The method is based on the use of amidopyrine, which is a derivative of pyridine, a chemical compound present in urine.

When conducting an amidopyrine test, the patient must urinate into a special container, after which amidopyrine is added to the urine. If a patient has a UTI, when urine reacts with amidopyrine, a chemical compound is formed that can be found on the surface of the container. This compound is called pyramidon and can be detected using a special test for the presence of this substance.

If the test result is positive, it means the patient has a UTI. However, it should be noted that the amidopyrine test cannot be used as the only method for diagnosing UTIs, since it is not an accurate and specific method. In most cases, additional examination and tests are required to confirm the diagnosis of a UTI.

In general, the amidopyrine test is one of the methods for diagnosing UTI and can be used as an additional tool to determine the presence of this disease in patients.

The amidopyrine test is a test used to determine the presence of protein in the urine. It is based on the reaction between a protein and amidopyrine, which is an organic compound from the group of aminopyrazones. If protein is present in the urine, then upon contact with amidopyrine, an azo dye is formed, which can be visually detected.

The amidopyrine test is carried out in the laboratory, where a special test tube is filled with the urine being tested, then amidopyrine is added to it
