Transcript and Presenter's Notes

Title: Urinalysis


1
Urinalysis
2
pH 4.6 8.0
  • Normal pH is within this range
  • Average 6

3
Specific Gravity 1.003 1.035
  • Normal SG is within this range
  • This is the density of the liquid.
  • Water 1.000
  • 1.003 dilute
  • 1.035 concentrated

4
Urochrome / urobilin
Oxidized form of urobilinogen, which is yellow
and causes normal urine color
5
Unorganized Sediments (crystals)
Calcium Oxalate
Cystine
6
Unorganized sediments (crystals)
Struvite
Uric Acid
7
Renal calculus
8
Organized sediments
9
WBCs (pus)
An occasional WBC is normal All of these samples
are abnormal
10
RBCs
An occasional RBC is normal Both of these samples
are abnormal
11
Epithelial cells
Usually normal and come from ureters, bladder,
and urethra
12
Casts
Waxy renal failure
Hyaline usually normal
Granular cause varies
13
Centrifuge
Spins the sample to separate its components
14
Urine dipsticks
Used to detect substances and cellular material
in urine samples
15
Urinometer
Determines the specific gravity of urine
16
Sedi-stain
Stains cellular components so they can be easily
seen
