Urinalysis Awareness
• The urinalysis is another common test routinely
taken in almost all acute hospitals as an admission
lab screening test. It can easily reveal renal and
systemic pathologies. Everyone should be
reminded of the importance of this test. It has
become such a routine patient test, that often, care
is not taken when collecting and handling
specimens. This improper handling can affect the
results of the test, since contamination can occur at
any point in the handling.

The following tests are most common
components of the urinalysis:

Test: Urinalysis: Appearance
• Turbidity and other terms are used to
characterize the appearance of a urine
specimen. Urine may contain red or white
blood cells, bacteria, fat, or chyle and may
reflect renal or urinary tract infection.

Test: Urinalysis: pH
• Urine is normally slightly acid (4.5 - 7.2
normal range). If alkaline, it can be
indicative of infection. However, the urine
pH does change during the day due to
dietary influences and water intake. A 24-
hour specimen would reveal an optimum
pH of about 6.0.

Test: Specific Gravity
• Specific gravity is the weight of the urine as compared to
water.
• Normal Values: 1.005 to 1.025
• Low specific gravity (<1.005) is characteristic of
diabetes insipidus, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus,
acute tubular necrosis, or pyelonephritis.
• Fixed specific gravity, in which values remain 1.010
regardless of fluid intake, occurs in chronic
glomerulonephritis with severe renal damage.
• High specific gravity(>1.035) occurs in nephrotic
syndrome, dehydration, acute glomerulonephritis, heart
failure, liver failure, or shock.

Test: Urinalysis: Protein
• Only a very small amount of protein should be
excreted into the urine in a 24-hour period (normal
is 0-trace). Albumin is usually the first protein to
be excreted in disease conditions. Some non-
disease conditions such as extreme muscle
exertion and pregnancy may cause proteinuria.
Some of the disease conditions which can cause
proteinuria are renal disease, fever, CHF,
hypertension, tumors, and others.

Test: Urinalysis: Glucose and
ketones
• Serum glucose levels are obviously
important in diabetes, and so is the spilling
of glucose into the urine. Glucose levels
may also be raised or lowered in several
other disease conditions as well as in
diabetes.

Urinalysis: Microscopic exam of
the urine
• A microscopic examination of the urine
may reveal many different disease
conditions. The following tests are the usual
components of the exam:

Test: Microscopic Urine Exam:
RBC's
• In some normal conditions, a very few
RBC's may get into the urine. When a level
of more than 3 RBC's are found, a disease
condition is often present. One of the most
common causes of RBC's in the urine, is
infection or inflammation of the urinary
tract itself (i.e., cystitis). Trauma and
several other conditions may also cause
bleeding into the urine.

Test: Microscopic exam of urine:
Crystals and other components
• Some crystals normally appear in urine, but
numerous calcium oxalate crystals suggest
hypercalcemia or ethylene glycol ingestion.
Cystine crystals (cystinuria) reflect an
inborn error of metabolism.

Home Tests
• Normal values are as follows:

Glucose
What is a normal blood sugar level?
A normal sugar level is less than 100
mg/dL after not eating (fasting) for
at least 8 hours. And it's less than
140 mg/dL 2 hours after eating.
During the day, levels tend to be at
their lowest just before meals. For
most people without diabetes, blood
sugar levels before meals hover
around 70 to 80 mg/dL.

What is a bad cholesterol level?
• Desirable levels of total cholesterol are 200
mg per deciliter of blood or less; levels
between 200 mg/dL and 239 mg/dL are
considered borderline high; 240 mg/dL or
higher is considered high cholesterol and
raises your risk of heart disease to twice
what it would be if your total cholesterol
were 200 mg/dL or lower.

What is red blood cell count?
• Red blood cell (RBC) count. Red blood
cells carry oxygen from the lungs to the rest
of the body. They also carry carbon dioxide
back to the lungs so it can be exhaled. If the
RBC count is low (anemia), the body may
not be getting the oxygen it needs.

What is a normal white blood cell
count?
• Normal range varies slightly between
laboratories but is generally between 4,300
and 10,800 cells per cubic millimeter
(cmm). This can also be referred to as the
leukocyte count and can be expressed in
international units as 4.3 to 10.8 x 109 cells
per liter. White blood cell (WBC)
differential count.

What is a metabolic panel?
• A comprehensive metabolic panel is a
blood test that measures your sugar
(glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid
balance, kidney function, and liver function.
Glucose is a type of sugar your body uses
for energy. Electrolytes keep your body's
fluids in balance.

What is a metabolism test?
• A basic metabolic panel is a blood test that measures your
sugar (glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid balance, and
kidney function. Glucose is a type of sugar your body uses
for energy. Electrolytes keep your body's fluids in balance.
• The Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) is a
frequently ordered panel of 14 tests that gives a health care
provider important information about the current status of
a person's kidneys and liver, electrolyte and acid/base
balance as well as levels of blood glucose and blood
proteins.

What is a high white blood cell
count?
• White blood cells, also called leukocytes,
are cells that exist in the blood, the
lymphatic system, and tissues and are an
important part of the body's defense system.
They help protect against infections and
also have a role in inflammation, allergic
responses, and protecting against cancer.

What does it mean when your
white blood cell count is high?
• A long-term low white blood cell count
increases the risk of infections and may be
caused by a number of different diseases
and conditions. High white blood cell
count (leukocytosis) means having too
many leukocytes circulating in the blood,
usually from having an infection.

What is blood pressure and how
is it measured?
• The bottom number, which is also the lower
of the two numbers, measures the pressure
in the arteries between heartbeats (when the
heart muscle is resting between beats and
refilling with blood).

Systolic/Diastolic
Contracting/Resting

What is a normal blood pressure
reading for a man?
• Diastolic, the lower number, is the pressure
between beats. Normal blood pressure is
considered to be anything below 120/80.
Prehypertension is defined as a systolic
reading between 120 and 139 and a diastolic
reading between 80 and 89. Hypertension is
defined as blood pressure of 140/90 or
higher.

What is Metabolism
A Simple Definition for Metabolism
• biology : the chemical processes by which a plant or an
animal uses food, water, etc., to grow and heal and to make
energy
• Full Definition of metabolism
• 1. 1 a : the sum of the processes in the buildup and
destruction of protoplasm; specifically : the chemical
changes in living cells by which energy is provided for
vital processes and activities and new material is
assimilated b : the sum of the processes by which a
particular substance is handled in the living body c : the
sum of the metabolic activities taking place in a particular
environment <the metabolism of a lake>

Overview of Metabolic
Syndromeo r Syndrome X
• Metabolic syndrome is a cluster of conditions —
increased blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess
body fat around the waist, and abnormal
cholesterol or triglyceride levels — that occur
together, increasing your risk of heart disease,
stroke and diabetes.
• Having just one of these conditions doesn't mean
you have metabolic syndrome. However, any of
these conditions increase your risk of serious
disease. Having more than one of these might
increase your risk even more.

Insulin Resistance
• Insulin resistance can be broadly defined
as a subnormal biological response to
normal insulin concentrations. By this
definition, it may pertain to many
biological actions of insulin in many tissues
of the body.

What is hyperinsulinemia and
insulin resistance?
• Hyperinsulinemia, or hyperinsulinaemia is a
condition in which there are excess levels of
insulin circulating in the blood than expected
relative to the level of glucose. While it is often
mistaken for diabetes or hyperglycaemia,
hyperinsulinemia can result from a variety of
metabolic diseases and conditions.
• Diabetes a metabolic disease in which the body’s
inability to produce any or enough insulin causes
elevated levels of glucose in the blood.

Why does diabetes cause
frequent urination?
• Frequent Urination. When there is excess
glucose present in the blood, as with type 2
diabetes, the kidneys react by flushing it
out of the blood into the urine. This results
in more urine production and the need to
urinate more frequently.

Why do diabetics drink so much
water?
• Thirst/Dehydration. Diabetes causes your
blood glucose levels to rise. Increased
glucose levels cause your body to pull fluid
from your cells into the bloodstream and
deliver the increased load to your kidneys.
This can overwork your kidneys and cause
them to produce more urine than normal.

Can diabetes cause you to lose
weight?
• Diabetes and sudden weight loss. In people
with diabetes, insufficient insulin prevents
the body from getting glucose from the
blood into the body's cells to use as energy.
When this occurs, the body starts burning
fat and muscle for energy, causing a
reduction in overall body weight.

What are the types of diabetes
mellitus?
• Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred
to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic
diseases in which there are high blood sugar
levels over a prolonged period. Symptoms
of high blood sugar include frequent
urination, increased thirst, and increased
hunger.

What are the causes of a stroke?
• The blood supply to the brain can be
interrupted both by a blockage in one of the
arteries that supply blood to the brain, or a
rupture of a blood vessel within the brain.
Stroke caused by blockage of an artery is
called ischemic stroke, while stroke
caused by rupture of an artery is called a
hemorrhagic stroke.

Can stress cause a stroke?
• Depressive symptoms in particular, but also chronic stress
in life, increase the risk of older people having a stroke or
transient ischemic attack, says researchers, who found
feelings of hostility, but not anger, were also a risk factor
for cerebrovascular disease.
• A heart attack happens if the flow of oxygen-rich blood to
a section of heart muscle suddenly becomes blocked and
the heart can't get oxygen. Most heart attacks occur as a
result of coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD is a
condition in which a waxy substance called plaque builds
up inside of the coronary arteries.

What happens to your body when
you have a heart attack?
• A network of blood vessels known as
coronary arteries surround the heart muscle
and supply it with blood that is rich in
oxygen. The heart muscle needs this
oxygen to function. A heart attack occurs
when a coronary artery becomes suddenly
blocked, stopping the flow of blood to the
heart muscle and damaging it.

Can you have a blood clot in your
heart?
• A heart attack results when a blood clot
completely obstructs a coronary artery
supplying blood to the heart muscle and
heart muscle dies. The blood clot that
causes the heart attack usually forms at the
site of rupture of an atherosclerotic,
cholesterol plaque on the inner wall of a
coronary artery.

What are the causes of
myocardial infarction?
• The most common cause of an MI is a
blood clot (thrombosis) that forms inside a
coronary artery, or one of its branches. This
blocks the blood flow to a part of the heart.
Blood clots do not usually form in normal
arteries. However, a clot may form if there
is some atheroma within the lining of the
artery.
