Long exam 1 (Part 2) Flashcards
When lipid is lost in the urine, many granular casts, fatty casts and oval fat bodies are found in the urine sediment. Oval fat bodies are actually
fat-laden renal tubular epithelial cells
Tubular pattern proteinuria is seen in all of the following conditions except
A. Fanconi’s syndrome C. Wilson’s disease
B. Pyelonephritis D. Nephrotic syndrome
Nephrotic syndrome
The tubular pattern proteinuria cannot be easily detected using reagent strip methods due to the type of protein involved – the low molecular weight proteins such as alpha-1- microglobulin, light-chain immunoglobulins and lysozymes. On the other hand, glomerular pattern proteinuria is detected because the protein involved is mainly
albumin
Type of proteinuria characterized by the excretion of 4 g. of protein /day is described as
heavy
Also referred to as orthostatic proteinuria is
postural proteinuria
Which substance may affect urinary pH testing?
protein
Which statement regarding protein testing is not true?
A. Reagent strips are not sensitive in measuring globulins but sensitive to albumin.
B. Both albumin and globulins can be precipitated using SSA and TCA.
C. Reagent strips can be used in assessing the degree of proteinuria.
D. Both reagent strips and SSA and TCA methods are for urine protein screening.
Reagent strips can be used in assessing the degree of proteinuria.
What substance in the urine is tested using the Kjeldahl method and Biuret reaction?
protein
Bence Jones protein is best detected in urine via
Protein electrophoresis
Which blood glucose level exceeds the renal threshold for glucose leading to glucosuria?
220 mg/dL
Urine glucose testing serves to check endocrine function to diagnose the disease
Diabetes mellitus
The common thing about using reagent strips for glucose testing such as Clinistix, Multistix and Chemstrip is the
double sequential enzyme reaction
The copper reduction tablet test for glucose is the
Clinitest
What enzyme will oxidize glucose into gluconic acid and hydrogen peroxide?
glucose oxidase
The range of drops required of the urine sample in the glucose testing using Clinitest is
2 to 5
O-toluidine is the chromogen used in which reagent strip for glucose?
Clinistix
All of the following are reducing sugars except
A. glucose
B. fructose
C. galactose
D. sucrose
sucrose
If a pass through phenomenon happens in the glucose test using Clinitest, one should do
retesting using lesser amount of urine sample
In galactokinase deficiency, galactose cannot be converted to glucose. From what sugar was the galactose that appears in the urine derived?
lactose
Which of the following tests is the most specific for urinary glucose testing?
A. Clinitest
B. Clinistix
C. Benedict’s test
D. Copper reduction test
Clinistix
