PART 3 routine examination of urine (week 4) Flashcards

1
Q
  • Urine is examined routinely to detect or determine the presence or absence of glucose. This is done either as screening procedure or as a guide to insulin therapy.
  • Other sugars may also appear in urine in certain conditions and interfere with the detection and determination of glucose. Blood level, glomerular blood flow, tubular reabsorption rate, and urine flow influence the appearance of glucose in urine.

Q

Principle: Double sequential enzyme (Glucose oxidase & peroxidase) use two enzymes

1st step: Glucose oxidase catalyzes a reaction between glucose and oxygen to produce gluconic acid and peroxide

2nd step: Peroxidase catalyzes a reaction between peroxide and chromogen to form an oxidized chromogen (colored compound)

Q

Principle: Copper Reduction
It is the ability of glucose to reduce copper
sulfate to cuprous oxide in the presence of alkali & heat .

  • The glucose in urine reduces the blue alkaline copper sulfate to cuprous oxide.

COPPER REDUCTION TEST
Positive result

22
Q
  • Involves “Pass-through phenomenon” if
    sugar in urine is more than 2 g/dL when the glucose in urine is very high
  • Color produced passes through the orange/red stage and returns to a green brown color because of re-oxidation of cuprous oxide to cupric oxide
  • Passes through orange to a dark shade of greenish brown. Re-oxidation of cuprous oxide to cupric oxide
  • Commonly, ang ginagawa ay five drop method because the two-drop method is only performed if there’s pass through
    phenomenon
