Results from breakdown of biliruben in colon by bacteria
Urobilinogen
Normally too large to pass through glomerulus rebal disease: proteinuria
Protein
Intensely yellow pigmented substance not soluble in water (liver)
Biliruben
Bacteria nitrate to nitrite
Nitrites
Weight of urine as compared to equal volume of water
Specific gravity
Products of fat metabolism oxidized by muscles
Ketone
White blood cells in urine
Leukocyte
Most important aid in identification of urine crystals
ph
Hemoglobin, myoglobin,erythrocytes
Blood
Sugar tested for in urine
Glucose
Guidelines to helphigh quality results when using reagent test strips
Ensure urine stick is completely covered
Confirmatory for biliruben
Ictotest
Confirmatory for reducing sugar/substance
