0.004 per 1 g/dl
Temperature correcting factored form urinometer
0.001 for every 3 degrees celsius below or above 20 degree celsius
displaces a volume of liquid equal to its weight

Principle of reagent strip
Pka change of a polyelectrolyte
Indirect measurements of specific gravity
Reagent strip and refractometer
Direct measurement of specific gravity
urinometer
harmonic oscillation densitometry
Fluid biopsy of the kidney
You didn’t
Temperature of urine
32.5 to 37.5 degrees celsius
Major solute of urine
Urea
Most concentrated and ideal specimen of choice because of stability of formed elements in acidic urine
First morning urine
Contains no metabolites from food ingested before fasting . And is recommended for glucose monitoring
Second morning fasting specimen
Collected at any time and is satisfactory for routine screening
Random urine
Best for cytology studies
Random clean catch
Analytes that are lowest in the early morning and highest in the afternoon
Catecholamines electrolytes proteins and 17 hydroxysteroid
Best collection time for urinary urobilinogen
2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. because of stability in alkaline urine
Collection technique with no patient preparation or assistance needed
Routine void
Safer last chromatic method which is less contaminated by veginal discharge epithelial cells and bacteria
Midstream clean catch
Used to acquire sterile urine directly from bladder for culture
Suprapubic collection
3 glass collection is also called
Prostatitis specimen
Purpose of third specimen in prostatitis specimen
Indicator of prostatic infection if 10 times more wbc than for specimen
Purpose of second specimen in prostatitis specimen
Control for bladder and kidney infection
