General Urinalysis Assessment

| Analysis of urine by physical, chemical, microscopical means to test for the presence of disease drug.

Per PA Alford, your renal and bladder ultrasound was normal but your repeated urinalysis is positive for blood. Therefore, PA Alford she is referring you to urology and she would like you to complete another urinalysis. The order for urinalysis is in the system. CAMO should call you within the next 3 to 5 business days to help you schedule an appointment with urology. If CAMO do not call you within 3 to 5 please call then at 916-9900 option 3.

Perform a urinalysis when possible to find levels of Specific Gravity (how concentrated the urine is), pH, Protein, Blood, Nitrites, Leukocytes, Ketones, Glucose and Bilirubin. The results of this test can help identify any possible impairment in renal function and identify the presence of an infection (Vera, 2011).

Good afternoon Ms. Robinson. I heard you had difficulty understanding the results of your urinalysis report. I would be more than happy to assist you and help you decipher these terms. Specific gravity of a liquid or this case, urine, tells you how much more or less dense the liquid is than water and how efficiently your kidneys are diluting your urine.1 Your specific gravity was 1.024, which is a normal functioning level. Turbid is a term used to describe the clarity of urine. Urine clarity suggests substances that may be present in the urine.1 Your urine was classified as turbid, which has a cloudy, opaque appearance and suggests there may be a presence of protein or other

Urine sample. This is collected using a sterile container that is given to you by the lab.

The ureter helps collects filtrate and urine this is from the renal pelvis the next step for it will to be taken into the bladder; the ureter works at all times in health animals/ people (Gondar Design Biology, 2015). Urine usually flows by gravity but mainly the flow is caused by waves of contractions in which normally happy several times per minute (InnerBody, 2015).

This test requires a urine sample. You usually must collect all the urine you produce over 24 hours (24-hour sample).

BLOOD is drawn and sent to a lab for analysis, not all blood test are sent off, some are done in office, but when a more extensive test need to be done it is sent to a lab, like for DNA are a drug test.

Doctors will also have you do a 24-hour urine sample. This measures the urinary protein excretion your body produces in a 24-hour period. This will give doctors an indication of what would be the next move in deciding if you have FSGS.

The baseline is a common term for most chemical reactions. However, in this experiment, it is used to authorize a basic for a reaction. With the dependent variables being the substrate or the enzyme in this experiment, you have to point out and understand what is happening in the reaction. The baseline may vary with different situations that are applicable to the design of this experiment. In this experiment, the effects of changing a coincidental variable may possibly be resolved.

Urine varies in appearance, depending principally upon a body's level of hydration, as well as other factors. Normal urine is a transparent solution ranging from colorless to amber but is usually a pale yellow. In the urine of a healthy individual the color comes primarily from the presence of urobilin. Urobilin is a final waste product resulting from the breakdown of heme from hemoglobin during the destruction of aging blood cells.

Kidneys are a workhorse organ, performing multiple physiological tasks such as removing waste products and extra water, assisting in the creation of red blood cells, and controlling blood pressure. Consequently, kidneys are required to function at an optimal level of health. When kidneys completely fail also known as end state renal disease (ESRD) the only two courses are a kidney transplant or death, dialysis is a temporary intervention until a donor can be found. If an individual is within a risk factor of kidney disease either because of family history or having diabetes, or high blood pressure testing for kidney disease is recommended. There are two tests, a urine test that evaluates the protein in the urine and a blood test. The blood

Today I started out by shadowing a licensed practical nurse. She was in the mist of giving the residents their noon medicine doses. For reference, a resident receives an antibiotic everyday for bacteriuria(MT1). Another resident received pain medication for nephrolithiasis, while he waited for the stone to pass. Apparently, one of the residents refuses to take her vitamins, so the LPN dissolved it in coffee. Later on, I started shadowing a certified nurse aide. She was in the process of preparing a resident for a bed bath(IC). The resident had a Foley catheter which the CNA emptied and cleaned. The catheter helped the resident with urinary retention. Urinary retention is when the bladder does not empty all the way or at all. It is caused by
