Quiz #6 Urinalysis & Kidney Assay Flashcards
What crystal is sometimes seen in Dalmatians?
Ammonium biurate / Uric Acic
What type of crystal is found in ethylene glycol toxicity?
Calcium Oxylate
Turbidity refers to the smell of the urine sample
False
The main contributor to urine pH is diet
True
The protein measured on a urine dipstick will include albumin and globulins
False - Reagent strips commonly detect albumin and are not very sensitive to globulins (proteins insoluble in water).
On urine sediment erythrocytes are smaller than luekocytes.
True
The pH of urine will increase when the sample is left standing at room temperature.
True
Urine sediment is best viewed on the 40X objective
True (high dry / 40x)
Triple phosphate crystals are also known as struvite crystals
True
Dalmatians are prone to thorny apple crystals, technically called what?
Ammonium biurate
What are the three parts to a complete urinalysis?
Gross examination, Chemistries, Sediment
Without using color, a dippstick, or microsopic examination how can you tell the difference between hematuria and hemoglobinuria?
After spinning a sample and the fluid do not show red then it is hematuria because the RBCs separate and would go to the bottom.
What does isothenuria mean?
A fixed specific gravity of 1.008 and 1.012
When an animal has ketonuria they will almost always have what form of uria, why?
Glucosuria, When fatty acid metabolism is not accompanied by sufficient carbohydrate metabolism, excess ketones are present in the urine.
What three tests can be found on reagent strips that are not valid in veterinary medicine?
Luekocytes, specific gravity, and nitrates
What crystal is this? Sometimes seen in Dalmatians
Ammonium biurate
