Q

_____________ is the major serum protein found in the normal urine.

A

Albumin, due to its low molecular weight.

21
Q

The Bence Jones protein present in the urine is suspected in the ____________ condition.

A

Multiple myeloma

22
Q

A benign proteinuria is observed after a period in the vertical position and resolves when a horizontal position is assumed.

A

Orthostatic Proteinuria

23
Q

The reagent strip testing for protein uses the principle of the _________________.

A

protein errors of indicators, protein (albumin) present in the urine accepts hydrogen from the indicator.

24
Q

The ________________ test is a cold precipitation test that reacts with all forms of protein.

A

sulfosalicylic acid test (SSA)

25
Q

Due to reagent strips detecting albumin, would pre-renal proteinuria discovered in a routine urinalysis?

A

No, pre-renal proteinuria caused by increased low molecular weight plasma proteins includes hemoglobin, myoglobin, acute phase reactants and therefore not discovered in routine urinalysis.

26
Q

The blood glucose level of ____________ at which tubular reabsorption capacity stops (renal threshold).

A

160-180 mg/dL

27
Q

A patient with a normal blood glucose and positive glucose in the urine (glycosuria) is indicative of ________.

A

Renal disease, renal tubules is compromised.

28
Q

The principle of the reagent strip test for glucose is ___________________.

A

Glucose oxidase reaction

29
Q

The main purpose of conducting a clinitest is ____________.

A

In addition to glucose it check for reducing sugars of which galactose is the most clinically significant (newborn galactosuria).

30
Q

What is “inborn error of metabolism’?

A

Deficiency of enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase which prevents breakdown of galactose leads to complication including failure to thrive, and death.

31
Q

The three intermediate products of fat metabolism include:

A

Acetone, acetoacetic acid and B-hydroxybutyrate

32
Q

Clinical significance of positive ketones on the urine:

A

Diabetes mullitus, vomiting, starvation etc.

33
Q

The reagent test strips uses ________ to measure ketones.

A

Sodium nitroprusside reaction.
In this reaction, acetoacetic acid reacts with sodium nitroprusside and produce purple color. It does not react with B-hydroxybutyrate and little sensitive to acetone.

34
Q

The confirmatory test for ketones?

A

Ace test

35
Q

The clinical significance of positive reagent test strip test for blood:

A

Indicative of presence of red cells, hemoglobin or myoglobin in the urine.

36
Q

Positive bilirubin is indicative of _______________

A

Bile duct obstruction and liver damage (hepatitis, and cirrhosis)

37
Q

Positive bilirubin and urobilinogen are indicative of ______________

A

Liver disease

38
Q

The reagent test strip for bilirubin uses ______________.

A

Diazzo reaction

39
Q

A confirmatory test for urine bilirubin _________________-

A

Ictotest

40
Q

Why there is a small amount of urobilinogen is present in the urine (less than 1 mg/dL)?

A

Urobilinogen from the intestine is recirculates to the liver, it passes thru the kidney and filtered by the glomerulus. Therefore a small amount is found normally in the urine.

41
Q

An increased urine urobilinogen is seen in :

A

liver disease and hemolytic disorders.

42
Q

An absence of urobilinogen in the urine and feces represents:

A

bile duct obstruction that prevents the normal passage of bilirubin into the intestine.

43
Q

False negative nitrite reading can be caused by:

A

Gram positive bacteria (reductase is only found in gram negative bacteria).
Heavy bacterial infection (further reduction of nitrite to nitrogen).
Random urine specimen

44
Q

Clinical significance of urine nitrite test:

A

UTI

45
Q

The leukocyte esterase test detects_______________.

A

Detects the presence of esterase in the granulocytes WBCs, monocytes, histiocytes and trichomonas.

46
Q

Measurement of SG provides information regarding a patient ____________________________________________________.

A

Hydration or dehydration status.
Used to determine loss of renal tubular concentration ability.

47
Q

Terms:
SG of UA 1.010-
SG of UA < 1.010-
SG of UA > 1.1-

A

SG of UA 1.010- isothenuric
SG of UA < 1.010- hyposthenuric
SG of UA > 1.1- hypersthenuric

48
Q

For urine SG, when using refractometers or urinometers, it is necessary to subtract ________________________ and subtract ________________________ to correct the value.

A

subtract 0.003 for every 1 g/dl of protein
subtract 0.004 for every 1 g/dl of glucose
