Answers 100% Solved
Reagent strips - ✔✔these examine = pH, protein, glucose, ketones, blood,
bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrite, leukocytes, specific gravity
Reagent strip bottles - ✔✔store these at room temperature
QC is done with positive and negative controls every - ✔✔24 hrs
Confirmatory testing - ✔✔using different methods to detect the same
substances
pH - ✔✔kidneys and lungs regulate this acid base in the body.
Clinical significance of pH - ✔✔aids in determining disorders of the
metabolic or respiratory origin.
Urinary pH - ✔✔may indicate a disorder resulting from the kidneys inability

, pH # - ✔✔fresh urine does not reach above 8.5. This would indicate
improper storage or abnormal conditions. Request new urine sample
Reagent strip reaction - ✔✔methyl red --> bromthymol blue
Protein in urine - ✔✔the most indicative of renal disease
major serum found in normal urine - ✔✔albumin
Tamm-horsfall protein - ✔✔uromodulin
Uromodulin is produced - ✔✔in the distal convoluted tubule
Clinical significance of protein - ✔✔can help diagnose, prerenal, renal, and
post renal
Prerenal proteinuria - ✔✔caused by conditions affecting the plasma prior to
reaching the kidneys
Bence Jones protein - ✔✔possible multiple myeloma
Renal proteinuria - ✔✔renal disease resulting in glomerular or tubular
damage
glomerular proteinuria - ✔✔resulting damage lets more proteins pass and
eventually RBC's and WBC's
Proteinuria can be associated with... - ✔✔extreme exercise, and also
