Urinalysis + Anemia
Veterinary Technology UA and anemia quiz
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
| Exposure to this chemical during transportation to a reference/diagnostic lab can interfere with proper staining of Bone marrow slides (or any blood smear or cytology sample) | Formalin |
