Introduction Urine is formed in the kidneys, is a product
of ultrafiltration of plasma by the renal glomeruli.

Tests for proteins
Test – HEAT & ACETIC ACID TEST Principle-proteins are denatured & coagulated on
heating to give white cloud precipitate. Method-take 2/3 of test tube with urine, heat only
the upper part keeping lower part as control. Presence of phosphates, carbonates, proteins
gives a white cloud formation. Add acetic acid 1-2 drops, if the cloud persists it indicates it is protein(acetic acid dissolves the carbonates/phosphates)
![Page 23: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

microalbuminuria
The level of albumin protein produced by microalbuminuria cannot be detected by urine dipstick methods. In a properly functioning body, albumin is not normally present in urine because it is retained in the bloodstream by the kidneys. Microalbuminuria is diagnosed either from a 24-hour urine collection
![Page 27: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Significance of microalbuminuria
an indicator of subclinical cardiovascular disease an important prognostic marker for kidney disease in diabetes mellitus in hypertension increasing microalbuminuria during the first 48
hours after admission to an intensive care unit predicts elevated risk for acute respiratory failure , multiple organ failure , and overall mortality
![Page 28: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Bence Jones proteins
These are light chain globulins seen in multiple myeloma, macroglobulimias, lymphoma.
Test- Thermal method(waterbath):
Proteins has unusual property of precipitating at 400 -600c & then dissolving when the urine is brought to boiling(1000c) & reappears when the urine is cooled.
![Page 29: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Test for sugar Test-BENEDICT’S TEST(semiquantitative) Principle-benedict’s reagent contains cuso4.In the
presence of reducing sugars cupric ions are converted to cuprous oxide which is hastened by heating, to give the color.
Method- take 5ml of benedict’s reagent in a test tube, add 8drops of urine. Boil the mixture.
Blue-green= negative Yellow-green=+(<0.5%) Greenish yellow=++(0.5-1%) Yellow=+++(1-2%) Brick red=++++(>2%)

Microscopic examination Microscopic urinalysis is done simply pouring the
urine sample into a test tube and centrifuging it (spinning it down in a machine) for a few minutes. The top liquid part (the supernatant) is discarded. The solid part left in the bottom of the test tube (the urine sediment) is mixed with the remaining drop of urine in the test tube and one drop is analyzed under a microscope

casts
Urinary casts are cylindrical aggregations of particles that form in the distal nephron, dislodge, and pass into the urine. In urinalysis they indicate kidney disease. They form via precipitation of Tamm-Horsfall mucoprotein which is secreted by renal tubule cells.
![Page 45: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Hyaline casts
The most common type of cast, hyaline casts are solidified Tamm-Horsfall mucoprotein secreted from the tubular epithelial cells
Seen in fever, strenuous exercise, damage to the glomerular capillary
![Page 47: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Granular casts
Granular casts can result either from the breakdown of cellular casts or the inclusion of aggregates of plasma proteins (e.g., albumin) or immunoglobulin light chains
indicative of chronic renal disease
![Page 49: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

Waxy casts
waxy casts suggest severe, longstanding kidney disease such as renal failure(end stage renal disease).
![Page 51: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Fatty casts Formed by the breakdown of lipid-rich
epithelial cells, these are hyaline casts with fat globule inclusions
They can be present in various disorders, including
nephrotic syndrome, diabetic or lupus nephropathy, Acute tubular necrosis
![Page 54: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Pigment casts
Formed by the adhesion of metabolic breakdown products or drug pigments
Pigments include those produced endogenously, such as
hemoglobin in hemolytic anemia, myoglobin in rhabdomyolysis, and bilirubin in liver disease.
![Page 56: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Crystal casts
Though crystallized urinary solutes, such as oxalates, urates, or sulfonamides, may become enmeshed within a hyaline cast during its formation.
The clinical significance of this occurrence is not felt to be great.
![Page 57: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Red cell casts
The presence of red blood cells within the cast is always pathologic, and is strongly indicative of glomerular damage.
They are usually associated with nephritic syndromes.
![Page 58: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)

Epithelial casts
This cast is formed by inclusion or adhesion of desquamated epithelial cells of the tubule lining.
These can be seen in acute tubular necrosis and toxic ingestion, such as from mercury,
diethylene glycol, or salicylate.
![Page 64: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Urine dipsticks Urine dipstick is a narrow plastic strip which
has several squares of different colors attached to it. Each small square represents a component of the test used to interpret urinalysis. The entire strip is dipped in the urine sample and color changes in each square are noted. The color change takes place after several seconds to a few minutes from dipping the strip. If read too early or too long after the strip is dipped, the results may not be accurate.
![Page 65: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)

The squares on the dipstick represent the following components in the urine:
specific gravity (concentration of urine), acidity of the urine (pH), protein in the urine (mainly albumin), glucose (sugar), ketones blood bilirubin and urobilinogen
![Page 67: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/67.jpg)
The main advantage of dipsticks is that they are
1. convenient,
2. easy to interpret,
3. and cost-effective
![Page 68: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
The main disadvantage is that the1. Information may not be very accurate as
the test is time-sensitive.2. It also provides limited information about
the urine as it is qualitative test and not a quantitative test (for example, it does not give a precise measure of the quantity of abnormality).
![Page 69: Urine Analysis Ammonia](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022042515/551fdcd84979592e5b8b50db/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
