True or False: The Physical Examination of urine provides preliminary information and correlation with other chemical and microscopic results.
True
Give the Normal Range for Volume of Urine for 24-hours
600 - 2000mL
Average Volume for Urine Samples
1200 - 1500mL
Night Day Ratio
1:2 or to 1:3
Required Volume (Also give the Specific Average Volume)
10 to 15mL (12mL - average volume)
Changes in Urine output and their principles
- POLYURIA : Increase in urine output
- ANURIA : complete cessation (ceasing) of urine output
- OLIGURIA : Deacres in urine output
- NOCTURIA: Increase in urine output volume at night
Changes in Urine output and their principles
- POLYURIA : Increase in urine output
- ANURIA : complete cessation (ceasing) of urine output
- OLIGURIA : Deacres in urine output
- NOCTURIA: Increase in urine output volume at night
Night to Day Ratio for NOCTURIA
3:1
It’s caused by poisoning of mercury, complete obstruction with stone and tumors.
ANURIA
True or False: POLYURIA patients should have greater than 2.5L/day for adults, and 2.5 - 3mL/day for children
FALSE: 2.5L/day for adults and 2.5 - 3mL/kg/day for children.
TRUE OR FALSE:
OLIGURIA Urine volume is expected to be less than 400mL/day for adult, 0.5mL/kg/day for children, 1mL/kg/hr for infants.
OLIGURIA is caused by Cold Temperature, Diabetes Melitus, and Excessive Fluid Intake
FIRST STATEMENT IS TRUE
SECOND STATEMENT IS FALSE the causes of OLIGURIA is (DEHYDRATION, PRESENCE OF RENAL STONES, and GLOMERULONEPHRITIS).
What are the common diuretic drinks that can CAUSE POLYURIA.
Coffee, Beer, and Tea (Any drink that may contain alcohol and caffeine)
TRUE OR FALSE: NOCTURIA is expcted to have 500mL with Specific Gravity of greater than < 1.018
FALSE: NOCTURIA IS EXPECTED TO HAVE 500mL with an Specific Gravity of Less than > 1.018
Indicator of the degree of dehydration and concentration which correlates to urine Specific Gravity
Color
Indicator of the degree of dehydration and concentration which correlates to urine Specific Gravity
Color
It provides the majority of the Urine’s Pigment
Urochrome - Yellow
