Question
Answer
Define proteinuria   Protein in the urine  
🗑
What size protein go through the glomerular   LMW-low molecular weight proteins; glomerulus prevent passage of HMW > 69,000 amu  
🗑
What amount of protein is usually found in the urine   None- any amount greater than trace- (small) considered significant  
🗑
What happens to the protein that is in the filtrate   reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tuble to the distal convoluted tuble  
🗑
What does persistent proteinuria indicate   renal or kidney disease  
🗑
What urine sample should be tested for protein   First morning  
🗑
What are the causes of transient proteinuria   Physiological state- renal disease, strenuous exercise, orthostitic, dehydration, UTI, acute illness with fever  
🗑
What is orthostatic proteinuria   Protein excreted when upright not lying down  
🗑
Urine specimens show what results in orthostatic protein uria   First morning- neg; 2 hours later- positive  
🗑
Nephrotic syndrome is the nutritional and clinical condition that results from what   Continued massive proteinuria- two or more grams of albumin (plasma protein)/ day leaving the body  
🗑
In nephrotic syndrome when the glomerulus is inflamed, which protein is found in the urine   albumin 60- 90 percent of the time. Slightly larger than pores  
🗑
Describe Bence Jones Proteins   LMW Low molecular weight- portion of a globulin. Seen in disease called multiple myeloma  
🗑
What is the colorimetric test   Dipstick test  
🗑
What is the principle behind the colorimetric test   Protein error of indicators -citrite buffer PH3 yellow; tetrabromphenol PH4 blue  
🗑
What protein is detected by the colormetric test   albumin 60- 90 percent of the time because they are the smallest  
🗑
What reaction does alkaline, highly buffered urine; Bence Jones or globulins cause on dipstick   alkaline- false pos. visibly bloody urine, chlorhexidine skin cleaners; Bence Jones, mucoproteins.  
🗑
What is CLIA '88   Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments developed 88- Federal Regulations. Applies to all laboratories, for accuracy and reliability of lab results  
🗑
CLIA '88 includes requirements for which three areas of the laboratory   Personnel, Quality Control, Proficiency Testing (PC)-outside ascessing  
🗑
How long must quality control records and patient values be kept   2 years  
🗑
What kind of information should the procedure manual contain   Type of specimen, Refrig. or preservative, Testing procedures, Interpertations of results, possible sources of interference  
🗑
How often should urinalysis controls be checked and recorded   Should be done according to manufacturer- Siemens pos. neg. control whenever you open new jars- each new lot, shipment, monthly if stored more than 30 days  
🗑
What should you record if a control result is out of range   What corrected action was taken  
🗑
Waived Certificate   Not life threatening CW/COW- can only perform waived test  
🗑
Non- Waived Certificate   More complex, more training required- unannounced bieninnial inspections  
🗑
