Reagents available as home-test kits that permit the rapid determination (typically in few minutes) of one or more analytes of interest in a sample of urine. Most urine test kits for home use may be available without prescription. They permit patients to check and/or control the levels of substances (e.g., bilirubin) that characterize a specific illness (e.g., hepatic diseases) or to follow the progress of medical treatments. Frequently these kits include a paper strip (reagent strip) that changes color when reacting with a particular analyte.
