Aubf Flashcards
Pigment present in urine that gives a yellow color in a normal condition
____________ (Thudichum
UROCHROME
Pink pigment, is most evident in specimens that
have been ______________, resulting in the
precipitation of amorphous urates. Uroerythrin
attaches to the urates, producing a pink color to
the sediment.
Uroerythrin
An oxidation product of the normal urinary constituent urobilinogen, imparts an orange-brown to urine that is not fresh/ prolonged stand
Urobilin
Oxidation of porphobilinogen to porphyrins
Red / portwine color

Evaluation of urine concentration
Specific gravity
Random Urine Sample - 1.015 - 1.030 (S.G)
Specific gravity
Determine whether specimen concentration is
adequate to ensure the accuracy of chemical
tests.
