The first step of Schlesinger’s test is to mix 1 mL of
zinc acetate and 1 mL of alcohol in a test tube. The second step of Schlesinger’s test is to mix 1 mL of
urine specimen and 5 drops of iodine

o Both statements are true
o Both statements are true
Most of the urobilinogen in feces are oxidized to
stercobilinogen by intestinal bacteria which gives
stool their characteristic brown color. Some
urobilinogen is reabsorbed from the gut into the
portal blood and transported to the kidney, where it
is converted to yellow urobilin and excreted.
