Anyone performing Nitrazine testing... how do you report it out (Pos/Neg or Rup/Non-Rup) and what is your reference range?

Our OB providers have a drop-down choice between: Negative (pH<7), Positive (pH>7), Equivocal.  Reference range is Negative (pH<7).

We report out as positive or negative and reference range is
• Normal: Negative = Indicative of the absence of amniotic fluid
• Positive = Indicative of the presence of amniotic fluid

Please refer to the package insert of the product that you are using, you can decide how to report the result base on the package insert or manufacturer instruction.

Sincerely,
Alma
