Urinalysis: Physical Examinaiton

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
A patient with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus will most likely have:   pale urine with a high specific gravity. Due to polyuria and increased glucose in urine.  
🗑
While performig and analysis of a bay's urine, the technologist notices the specimen to have a "mousy" odor. Of the following substances that may be excreted, the one that most characteristically produces this odor is:   phenylpyruvic acid. Phenylketonuria is a genetic disorder that results in a urine with a mousy odor. Acetone has a fruity odor, Bacteria can produce ammonia odor. Porphyrin has no odor.  
🗑
An ammonia-like odor is characteristically associated with urine from patients who:   have an infection with Proteus spp. Proteus spp. is urease positive. Proteus excrete urease, and urease breaksdown ammonia.  
🗑
Urine that develops as a port wine color after standing may contain:   porphyrins. Melanin is black, bilirubin is amber/brown.  
🗑
Acid urine that contains hemoglobin will darken on standing die to the formation of:   methemoglobin.  
🗑
Urine from a 50-year-old man was noted to turn dark red on standing. This change is caused by:   porphyrins.  
🗑
The clarity of a urine sample should be determined:   following thorough mixing of the specimen.  
🗑
Milky urine from a 24 year old woman would most likely contain:   many WBCs or (sperm)  
🗑
A brown-black urine would most likely contain:   melanin. Bile is green/brown.  
🗑
The yellow color of urine is primarily die to:   The only normal pigment is urochrome.  
🗑
Red urine may be due to:   Myoglobin.  
🗑
Urine osmolality is related to:   specific gravity. Both measure the solutes in a urine.  
🗑
Urine specific gravity is an index of the ability of the kidney to:   concentrate the urine. Specific gravity relates to H2O ONLY.  
🗑
Osmolality is a measure of:   dissolved particles, including ions.  
🗑
To prepare a solution appropriate for quality control of the refractometer, a technician should use:   NaCl with a specific gravity of 1.022.  
🗑
A urine's specific gravity is directly proportional to its:   dissolved solids.  
🗑
Use of a reftactometer over a urinometer is preferred due to the fact that the refractometer uses:   a small volume of urine and compensates for temperature.  
🗑
The method of choice for performing a specific gravity measurement of urine following administration of x-ray contrast dyes is:   reagent strip because it is not affected by the dye.  
🗑
