Veterinary Technology UA and anemia quiz

QuestionAnswer
Best Urine sample to use for Culture and Sensitivity Cystocentesis
Worse Urine sample to use for Culture and Sensitivity Free catch
Pale yellow urine generally has a _____ specific gravity Low
Fruity or sweet smell to a urine sample Ketones
Ammonia-like smell to a urine sample Urease producing bacteria
Component of the UA that gives information on hydration status as well as ability for kidneys to concentrate urine Specific gravity
Is not useful in a UA in veterinary medicine (1 of 3 analytes) especially in cats as is esterase based and cats have esterase in their urine Leukocyte
How long to centrifuge urine in minutes Five
Volume of supernatant to leave in tube to resuspend sediment for microscopic evaluation of urine Up to one mL
Greenish hue in urine Bile pigment
pH of urine allowed to sit at room temperature over 1 hour will turn Alkaline
Detects Bence Jones Protein Sulfosalicylic acid turbidity test
Detects sugars other than glucose in urine Clinitest
Formed in the renal tubules and seen on sediment examination of urine Casts
First ketone produced by the body in ketoacidosis Beta hydroxybutyric acid
Confirms ketones in urine if there is a positive on the dipstick AceTest or Ketostix
Ketone detected by the dipstick Acetoacetic acid
Any bilirubin in the urine in this species is abnormal Feline
Trace bilirubin in the urine is normal in this species Canine
Follow up test for bilirubin in the urine Ictotest
Normal specific gravity for dogs 1.025
Normal specific gravity for cats 1.030
Stain used for reticulocytes New Methylene Blue (supravital)
Stain used for hemosiderin in bone marrow aspirate; positive staining in cats is considered abnormal finding Prussian blue
erythrocyte indices that indicates Average size of erythrocytes (RBCs) MCV
Erythrocyte indices that indicates the iron content/oxygen carrying capability of the cells (color) MCHC
Used to help classify types of anemia Erythrocyte indices
May been in urine sediments from free catch that needs to be correlated to clinical signs to considered significant WBCs and bacteria
High protein detected on a dip stick is considered significant only if specific gravity is: low specific gravity; Not significant if 1.025 or higher
This specie does not have circulating reticulocytes during a regenerative anemia (Bone marrow aspirate needs to be performed to detect) Equine (horses)
What three cell types are produced in the bone marrow Platelets, RBCs and WBCs
low PCV, low RBC count and decreased hemoglobin is the definition of Anemia
What is a Jamshidi needle used for Bone marrow sample
What anticoagulant is used to preserve a bone marrow sample EDTA
