 −   Cytological Examination
Macroscopic Examination
Odor:
−   Ammonia-like:       (Urea-splitting bacteria)

Color:
−   Colorless           Diluted urine
−   Deep Yellow         Concentrated Urine, Riboflavin
−   Yellow-Green        Bilirubin / Biliverdin

Macroscopic Examination


Turbidity:
−   Typically cells or crystals.

    centrifugation.
−   Crystals dissolved by a variety of methods (acid or
    base).
−   Microscopic examination will determine which is
    present.

Uses and Limitations of Urine Glucose
Detection

 Significance
    – Diabetes mellitus.
    – Renal glycosuria.


 Limitations
    – Interference: reducing agents, ketones.
    – Only measures glucose and not other sugars.
    – Renal threshold must be passed in order for glucose to spill
      into the urine.


 Other Tests
    – CuSO4 test for reducing sugars.

      Blood                pH area of the strip and make the
      pH                   pH of the sample appear more

Case Glomerulonephritis RBC casts reveals renal cortex involvement 5 RBC cast are not always present in GN Glucose Negative 8-year old boy presents with discolored urine Bilirubin Negative Ketones Physical characteristics: Red, turbid. Negative Microscopic: erythrocytes = >100 per HPF S.G. 1.015 (almost all dysmorphic) Red cell casts present. Blood +++ Questions: pH 6.5 - What is the most likely diagnosis in this Protein case? + - Does the presence of red cell casts help you Urobilinogen 1.0 mg/dL in any way? - If the erythrocytes were not dysmorphic Nitrite Negative would that change your diagnosis? L.E. Negative
  • 97. Case “Functional” proteinuria? Microscopic may reveal a few leukocytes 6 Request protein concentration in 24 h urine Glucose Negative 22-year old man presenting for a routine Bilirubin Negative physical required for admission to medical Ketones Negative school S.G. 1.010 Physical characteristics: Yellow Microscopic: Not performed Blood Negative Questions: pH 5.0 - What is your differential diagnosis? Protein + - Would you order a microscopic analysis on this sample? Urobilinogen 0.2 mg/dL - What would you do next to confirm the diagnosis? Nitrite Negative L.E. Negative
