Tomcat urine odor
Multiple carboxylase deficiency
Confirmatory test for bilirubin
ICTOTEST
Urine urobilinogen in patients with bile duct obstruction
Normal
Identify the corrected specific gravity using the
hydrometer method:
● urine temp: 32 deg C
● calibration temp: 20 deg C
● glucose: 3g/dL
● protein: 2g/dL
● specific gravity: 1.020
1.006
(If specimen is WARM, add 0.001 from the reading for every 3°C that the specimen is above 20°C. Subtract 0.004 for every 1g/dL GLUCOSE Subtract 0.003 for every 1g/dL PROTEIN)
Solution:
(Temperature calibration)
1.020 + 0. 004 = 1.024
(Glucose and protein calibration)
1.024 - 0.018 = 1. 006
Distilled water calibration
