Clin Med: Renal Exam
asymptomatic a patient can present as while still having
(may not have the abnormal kidney
obvious signs like function
flank pain or frank
hematuria)
- edema non specific extra-renal signs of renal
- hypertension failure
Uremia Syndrome:
- vomiting
- mental status
change
- seizure
- anemia=
weakness &
easilly fatigued
- anorexia
concurrent disease pts with systemic symptoms and
renal failure probably have some
other ____ ____
- blood what can visually cause red to brown urine
- hemoglobin
- myoglobin
- urobilinoge
n (bilirubin
byproduct)
- phenazopyridine
- beets
1/11
,- phenolphthalein
-serratia
marcescens UTI
(gram neg
bacteria)
2/11
, -PH what can be read on a dipstick,
-Specific Gravity which are normal and which are
abnormal if present
Some amount is
normal:
- blood =
hemoglobin/
myoglobin
- protein=
ONLY
albumin
(0,1+,2+,3+)
Abnormal:
- glucose
- nitrites
- leukocyte
esterase
(indicates WBC
presence)
- urobilinogen
- ketones
1.010-1.025 what is a normal specific gravity of urine
4.5-8.0 what is a normal PH of urine
- crystals what can be found microscopically in urine
- bacteria
- RBCs
- WBCs
- epithelial cells
- casts
- uric acid what kinds of crystals are possible in urine
- calcium phosphate
- calcium oxalate
