Tests of Glomerular Filtration Rate• Creatinine Clearance• Normal finding : male : 90-139 ml/ min
female : 80-125 ml /min
![Page 5: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Calculation of creatinine clearance
1. 24 hour urine collection
• C cr = U cr x V/ P cr2- Cockroft- Gault Formula
• C cr = (140 – age in years) x ( lean body weight in Kg) / S cr x 72• For women multiply final value by 0.85 OR put 85
instead of 72.
3- Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Formula• GFR = 186 X (Cr) -1.154 x age -0.203 x [0.742 (if
woman)]• Normal range = 95 -105 ml/min/ 1.73 m2

• Low Cr clearance:
1. Acute renal failure (ATN, AIN, Acute GN)
2. Chronic renal failure: Chronic glomerulonephritis, chronic HTN, DM
3. UTO
4. Old age
![Page 7: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Tests that predict kidney disease
Albumin/ Creatinine Ratio (ACR or Microalbumin)
![Page 8: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Albumin Creatinine Ratio (Microalbumin)
In health, there is very little or no albumin in the urine
Most dip sticks report albumin at greater than 150 mg/L
Normal microalbumin: 30 -300 mg/24hrs
![Page 9: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Urinary Albumin – cont’d
Detection of low levels of albumin (even if below dipstick cut-off) is predictive of future kidney disease with diabetes
Very significant variation usually requires repeat collections
Microalbuminuria: DM, Hypertension and early GN
![Page 10: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Urinalysis
• The most commonly performed
• As a screening procedure for asymptomatic individual.
• To confirm the presence of renal disease, diabetes, or, more rarely, liver disease.
• can be performed in emergency rooms, outpatient clinics, private physicians' offices, and patients' homes.
![Page 11: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Urinalysis
• Three types of urinalysis can be performed: 1-dipstick urinalysis, 2- microscopic urinalysis, 3-cytodiagnostic urinalysis (specialized analyses). 1,2= routine urinalysis
• Cytodiagnostic urinalysis is more time-consuming than traditional microscopic analysis
![Page 12: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Specimen Collection• Midstream, catheterized, suprapubic aspiration
• Ideally within 30 minutes of collection
• Specimens > 2 hours old are inaccurate
• Can be refrigerated at 4oc up to 6 hours
• Amorphous urate may precipitate
• Should return to room temperature

Urinalysis1. macroscopic analyses consisting of
physicochemical determinations (appearance, specific gravity), and multi-parameter reagent-strip measurements of biochemical constituents,
2. microscopic examination of urinary sediment: hematuria, pyuria, cylindruria (casts), crystalluria, and others.

Physical Examination of Urinephysicochemical determinations
iv. Specific gravity: refractometer [measures the density (mass per unit volume) of the suspended particles]
The normal range is 1.003 to 1.035 g/mL. A value of 1.020 or greater indicates good renal function
![Page 23: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Physical Examination of Urinephysicochemical determinations
• V. Osmolality: osmometer ( the number of particles per unit mass).
• The healthy kidney is capable of producing urine with a wide range of concentrations, from 50 to 1200 mOsm/kg. Normally, a urine's osmolality will range from approximately one-sixth to four times the osmolality of normal serum (280 to 290 mOsm/kg).
![Page 25: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Physical Examination of Urine Reagent-strip testing
urine pH• The urinary pH range is usually 4.7 to 7.8.
Extremely acidic or alkaline urine usually indicates a poorly collected specimen.
• More acidic with increased meat intake
• More alkaline with vegetarian diet
• High pH with prolonged storage or urea splitting organisms, diuretic therapy, vomiting, ,gastric suction and alkali therapy.
![Page 26: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Chemical Examination of Urine Reagent-strip testing
Blood and myoglobin
Normally not detectable in the urine
Oxidizing agents such as povidone - iodine and myoglobin will cause a positive reaction
Positive dipstick without RBCs suggests hemolysis or rhabdomyolysis.
![Page 28: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
• Chemical Examination of Urine Reagent-strip testing
• Bilirubin: no detectable in the urine
• Urobilinogen: 2-10 mg/L
Only conjugated bilirubin is passed into the urine.
In hemolysis urine urobilinogen is often positive
False positive test for urine bilirubin can occur if the urine is contaminated with stool
Prolonged storage and exposure to light can lead to false negative results.
![Page 29: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Chemical Examination of Urine Reagent-strip testing
• Sugars: not detectable sugars in the urine.
• Ketones: not detectable in the urine
• Nitroprusside reaction used to detect ketones (acetone and acetoacetate)
• b-OH butyrate is not normally detected
![Page 30: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Chemical Examination of Urine Reagent-strip testing
• Nitrites: detect bacteriuria: measures the nitrite formed from converaion of nitrates to nitrites by certain bacteria in urine.
• Normally does not contain detectable nitrite.
• False negative:
• Ascorbic acid and high urine SG
• Low urinary nitrates (due to diet)
• Rapid transit of urine (takes 4 hrs to convert nitrates to nitrites in bladder )
• Degradation of nitrites (prolonged storage of urine)

Chemical Examination of Urine Reagent-strip testing

• Normally does not contain detectable leukocytes.
• False positive
• Long standing urine, more granulocyte lysis
• Vaginal contamination
![Page 32: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Normal Proteinuria• 30 to 150 mg/day
• Usually only small proteins (<20,000 daltons) pass across capillary wall and most are reabsorbed in prox. tubules e.g., a2-microglobulin, apoproteins, enzymes, peptide hormones
• Tamm-Horsfall protein (uromodulin)
• High m. wt. 23 x 106 daltons glycoprotein

Casts
• Renal casts are cylindrical structures that are formed in the nephron and excreted in the urine. Casts are significant because of their localizing value. Casts are composed of mucoprotein, or uromucoid, (Tamm- Horsfall protein), which is always present in urine, usually in solution.
![Page 47: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Casts
• The Tamm- Horsfall mucoprotein is produced by the tubular epithelial cells lining the ascending limb of the loop of Henle.
• Casts are formed when urine stasis exists, which allows uromucoid to precipitate.
• Increased concentrations of protein and salts and a low urine pH all contribute to cast formation.
![Page 48: Interpretation of abnormalities in urine](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/56815c3c550346895dca3541/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

Summary 1. Urinalysis is used as a routine test.
2. GFR, proteinuria and urinalysis are the most important tests.
3. cellular casts are more important than crystals.
