A discrepant urine specific gravity.
A 21-year-old man presented after being struck by a car and underwent a computed tomography scan of the chest and spine. Three hours later, his clear yellow urine sample was sent to the laboratory. A routine urinalysis with the Roche Urisys® 2400 indicated the specific gravity (SG) as a flag, i.e., an error for SG. A manual repeat of the SG measurement was also not readable by refractometer (no...
متن کاملGlow stick or urine sample?
The random urine sample shown in Fig. 1 was collected from a 43-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus. A routine urinalysis (Aution Max AX-4280; Iris Diagnostics) revealed no remarkable findings and, specifically, was negative for protein. The corresponding urine protein concentration, however, was 448 mg/dL (reference interval, 12 mg/dL) as measured with a turbidimetric assay (Cobas...
متن کاملDevelopment of correction formulas for canine and feline urine specific gravity measured using a Japanese refractometer.
One of the most important functions of the kidney is to concentrate urine through the reabsorption of water. Urine specific gravity (USG) is used in routine tests of urine concentration and can be estimated using a refractometer. However, as the scale of Japanese refractometer is based on experimental data from healthy Japanese people, and human USG obtained by Japanese refractometers show high...
متن کاملDipstick measurements of urine specific gravity
Aim—To evaluate the reliability of dipstick measurements of urine specific gravity (U-SG). Methods—Fresh urine specimens were tested for urine pH and osmolality (U-pH, U-Osm) by a pH meter and an osmometer, and for U-SG by three diVerent methods (refractometry, automatic readout of a dipstick (Clinitek-50), and (visual) change of colour of the dipstick). Results—The correlations between the vis...
متن کاملThe Specific Gravity of the Urine in Diabetes Mellitus
or 1045." Again, we are told by another -writer that in diagnosing a case of diabetes " the density of diabetic urine, however, is one of the best indications. This fluid varies in density from 1030 to 1074 (Becquerel); but, on an average and tolerably constantly, it is 1040; and when the urinometer stands above 1030, we may suspect that sugar is present.". (Aitken's Science and Practice of Med...
