vet 124 final study guide
What do you expect to see in a dog with diabetes mellitus who has polydipsia and
polyuria in regard to the sp.gr.? - ANS-SG is often normal or high
Explain the proper way to prepare and to examine a urine sediment (should be
procedure done in your clinical tasks) - ANS-Sample 5mL - 10mL, centrifuge 5 minutes,
pour off the supernatant fluid, thump bottom of tube, put a drop of urine on slide and
add cover slip, can also add stain, look over entire slide at 10x, count the casts and
crystals found in 10 fields, move to 40x and count the cells found in 10 fields, add up
and divide by 10
Allowing urine to set at room temperature for a period of time can have what effect on
crystals and on casts? - ANS-crystals may form
casts may dissolve
Excess amount of urea in the blood is known as - ANS-Azotemia
Specific gravity of 1.002 is an indication of ______________ ______________. -
ANS-Diabetes insipidus
__________ is a physiologic fluid which is actively synthesized in the kidney from
materials derived from the blood. - ANS-urine
Specific gravity and water consumption are normally _____________ related. -
ANS-Inversely
Give one of the two hormones that are involved in the conservation of water: -
ANS-aldosterone, ADH
The urine of most domestic animals (does, or does not) contain a high level of
sediment. - ANS-does not
In the nephron, filtration occurs between the glomerular capillary bed and
____________ ____________. - ANS-Bowman's capsule
As much as ________ percent of the nephrons in the kidneys can be damaged or
non-functional before you see symptoms in the animal. - ANS-75%
, The functional unit of the kidney is the ___________. - ANS-nephron
fill in the missing blanks for tracing a drop of urine:
glomerular,[1], proximal convoluted tubule, [2], distal convoluted tubule, collecting
tubule, renal pelvis, [3], bladder, [4], Big Oak Tree - ANS-1- Bowman's capsule, 2- loop
of Henle, 3- ureter, 4- urethra
Capillaria plica is the scientific name for the __________________ worm. -
ANS-bladder
Largest cells found in the urine - ANS-squamous epithelial cells
epithelial cell found in the bladder - ANS-transitional epithelial cells
colorless casts - ANS-Hyaline casts
this cast may indicate inflammation in the renal tubules - ANS-Leukocyte casts

crystal commonly seen in horse and rabbit urine - ANS-calcium carbonate crystals
six sided flat plates - ANS-cystine crystals
resemble coffin lids - ANS-Triple Phosphate Crystals
casts that indicate renal bleeding - ANS-erythrocyte casts
Casts seen in cats with renal disease and occasionally in dogs with diabetes mellitus. -
ANS-Fatty casts
Most common casts seen in canines. - ANS-granular casts
cast seen in acute nephritis - ANS-granular casts
examine and record casts on this power of the microscope - ANS-10x
examine and record cells in urine on this power of the microscope - ANS-40x
