Urinalysis Lab 10 Exam 2 with Complete Solutions
a 24-year-old male has presented at your office with recent symptoms of a burning pain when urinating. The subject describes his new diet as healthy, with a large focus on lean chicken breast, hard-boiled eggs, and beans and high-water intake. what would you expect his urine sample to look like? - ANS-low pH
low specific gravity absent glucose
present protein--> high protein diet
Can any of these urine tests definitively diagnose diabetes?Why or why not? If not, why would a doctor ever order a urinalysis? - ANS-urine tests can test for possible symptoms of diseases but would not directly be used to diagnose a disease, the result can be used to detect abnormalities
explain reasoning: patient has light yellow urine? - ANS-increased fluid intake
given the result of a patient urine sample name a disease that can cause these results?
Color: light yellow
pH: 3.0
specific gravity: 1.040
glucose: present
protein: absent - ANS-patient may have diabetes, the high presence of glucose may be too much for the kidneys to absorb
glucose present - ANS-large meal, diabetes
high ph (8 or less) in urine may indicate? - ANS-diet rich in veg and dairy, severe anemia
high specific gravity (1.026 or less) - ANS-decrease fluid intake, loss of fluids, uncontrolled diabetes or severe anemia
is glucose present in normal urine? - ANS-no
is protein present in normal urine? - ANS-in small amounts
low ph (less than 6) in urine may indicate? - ANS-high protein diet., diabetes mellitus
low specific gravity (less than 1.010) - ANS-increased fluid intake, severe renal damage
objectives: Explain how different results from pH, specific gravity, glucose, and protein can affect the interpretation of a urine test. - ANS-
