Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Change is urine color

Following the addition of 1mL of 5% household bleach to a 10mL of each subject's urine, we will visually look for color change to red or orange within 5 minutes. Urine changing color to red or orange will be marked as a positive response to the bleach, which would fulfill the primary outcome.
