Explanation

Peroxidase enzymes are commonly used to detect hemoglobin in laboratory tests. Hemoglobin has intrinsic peroxidase-like activity, and peroxidase-based reactions are used in various blood detection methods, including fecal occult blood tests and blood typing procedures. Glucose, ammonia, and creatinine detection use different enzymatic methods (glucose oxidase, enzymatic assays, Jaffe reaction respectively).
