the different clarity of urine:
hazy, cloudy, turbid, milky
little particulates but urine print is seen
hazy
many particulates and urine is blurred
cloudy
urine print cannot be seen
turbid
many particulates and clotted
milky
turbidity: nonpathological
mucus spermatozoa contrast media fecal contamination squamous epithelial cell amorphous urates, phosphates & carbonates
turbidity: pathological
bacteria yeast rbc wbc lymphatic fluid and lipids abnormal crystals
soluble in dilute acetic acid

normal urine odor
nutty/aromatic
ammonia is the odor when keeping urine due to _________?
breakdown of urea
sweet fruity odor
ketones (DM, vomitting, starvation)
mousy odor
phenylketonuria
pungent odor
asparagus, onion, garlic (food)
bad, unpleasant odor/ foul, ammonial-like

tyrosinemia
urine volume at night and its specific gravity
more than 700 ml ; 1.018
specific gravity of first-morning urine/specimen
> 1.020
normal range of specific gravity
1.005 to 1.030
normal sample range SG
1.010 to 1.025
differentiate isothenuric, hyposthenuric, hypersthenuric
iso: 1.010
hypo: <1.010
hyper: >1.010
sg for neonates
1.012
SG for infants
1.002 - 1.006
sg for adults
1.003-1.030
tool used for measuring specific gravity
urinometer
tool that measures the refractive index of the solution
urine refractometer
principle of refractometer
RI can be compared to the velocity of a light in air to the velocity of light in the solution; velocity of light in the sol. is dependent on the amount of particles dissolved in the concentration
advantage of refractometer
only 2-3 drops of urine is needed
causes of isosthenuria
chronic renal diseases
impairment of renal function
sg of urine is like plasma infiltrate
causes of hyposthenuria
DI drinking too much fluids kidney diseases glomerulonephritis pyelonephritis (umakyat bacteria from bladder to kidney)
causes of hypersthenuria
loss of fluid less fluid intake (water) adrenal insufficiency particles in the urine hepatic disease congestive heart failure
pH of urine/average person pH
4.6-8.0
5-6
pH is useful for ______ and _______
acid base status and crystal identification
in acid base balance, the lungs are responsible for excreting _______ while kidneys are for _________
lungs: volatile waste - CO2
kidneys: non-volatile acid - uric acid
if blood pH is too acidic
more acids are secreted in urine; this is done by the secretion NH4, hydrogen phosphate and weak oganic acids
if blood pH is too alkaline
less acid is secreted in the urine; this is done by reabsorbing bicarbonate from convoluted tubes then attach to H ions to have carbonic acid therefore regulating pH levels
