PURPOSE:To easily make a urine test at home by throwing a urine screening reagent contg. an indicator which discolors by reacting with the disease components in discharged urine and detergent into the water reservoir part of a toilet bowl and allowing the same to react with the discharged urine thereby discoloring the reagent. CONSTITUTION:The urine screening reagent to be thrown into flushing water of the toilet bowl is obtd. by incorporating the indicator which discolors by reacting with the disease components in the discharged urine and the detergent therein. A mixture composed of a tetrabromphenol, citric acid and sodium citrate is used as the indicator for testing albumin in urine and a mixture composed of glucose oxidase, hydrogen peroxide decomposing enzyme and orthotoluidine is used for testing urinary sugar. Indicators for testing pH and urine occult blood are used in addition to the above-mentioned indicators. The screening reagent is thrown into the water reservoir part of the toilet bowl so that the discharged urine and the reagent react with each other in the bowl to make the discoloration test. The urinator himself is, therefore, capable of making self-diagnosis by testing the components in the urine.
