Dipstick And Urine Osmolality Flashcards
Sample for urine ph
1st morning sample immediately
Urine pH
4.5-5.5 acidic
If urine ph >5.5
Collecting duct- NH4+
proximal convulayed tubule-bicarbonate reabsorbed
Early morning urine ph >5.5 for 3 consecutive days
Renal tubular acidosis
Which is the acidifying machnery Or kidney
Collecting duct
Renal tubular acidosis types
Type 1-collecting duct
Type 2- PCT
Normal urine osmolality
800-900 mosm/kg
Serum- 285-290( countercurreny exchange mechanism)
Countercurrent exchange mechanish major players
Medullary intersitium
Urea
ADH
vasa recta
Urine osmolality <500
ADH decrease or resistance (DI)
Cental DI 250
Tubules not working (nephrogenic DI)
Osmolality equal to plasma
Urine specific gravity normal value
1.020-1.030
Serum specific gravity
1.010
Specific gravity of urine >1.030-1040
Concentrated urine (dehydration)
SG <1.010
Extremely dilute urine( diabetes insipidus)
Urine specific gravity is equal to serum specific gravity in
Isosthenuria (1.010)
Tubulea aren’t working
Child 5 yrs severe bone pain short stature blood sugar normal no diabetic history
Urine glucose +++
Unone ph 6
Renal tubular acidosis type 2
