Abstract: Disclosed is a test strip for detecting microalbumin in urine, and more particularly a test strip for detecting microalbumin in urine that contains a synthetic albumin indicator, a buffer solution, a surfactant and a polymer (sensitizer) and thus exhibits high sensitivity. The albumin detection test strip has accuracy sufficient to enable clear observation of color change from colorless to blue through the albumin indicator, and improves the detection limit (increases sensitivity) to thereby enable detection of microalbuminuria at a concentration of 20 mg/L or less. The albumin test detection strip contains a surfactant and a polymer in addition to a synthetic albumin indicator, thereby incorporating separate first and second processes into a single process and having effects of reducing costs, improving processing convenience, and increasing solubility and miscibility.

Abstract: Provided is, as an attempt to realize a method for measuring oxidative stress in human body fluids, a means for measuring reactive oxygen species containing a color indicator that detects the amount of reactive oxygen species present in the human body by causing a color change through reaction with malondialdehyde present in the urine or blood. The detection means has advantages of detecting malondialdehyde (MDA) present at a low concentration in a sample (urine or blood) and exhibiting excellent discrimination owing to high detection sensitivity.
