I. Purpose; the purpose is to analyze and interpret data on the body’s utilization of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.
II. Introduction A urinalysis is the analysis of a urine sample. This test is common; it can be evaluated in a variety of ways. By; physical appearance, and chemical/ molecular properties. Your body’s urine is the excess of what the body doesn’t use. Things like carbohydrates, lipids and proteins. Your body uses each one of theses in many ways. Carbohydrates are a quick source of energy for the body. They convert to glucose in the body; insulin is needed to process glucose and to obtain energy. Diabetes is the result of high blood glucose levels that result from the body not being able to produce enough insulin or use the insulin effectively. So therefore the glucose will be present in the urine. Lipids or fats, are long term energy for the body, when broken down they make ketone. They get passed in urine as well. Excess lipids in the urine can be the sign of a very serious condition. Protein is used in the body in an enormous amount of ways. As a result, proteins usually aren’t found in the urine, and when they are, your body has a serious protein deficiency. Protein deficiency leads to the disease Kwashiorkor. The pH of urine is roughly 6.0, slightly acidic. People who are diabetic or are dehydrated usually have very acidic urine. Highly basic urine is present with a urinary tract infection, aspirin overdose, certain kinds of kidney disease or a high citrus diet.
III. Hypothesis; our patient Daniel, we believe is suffering from protein deficiency. With symptoms like; rapid hair loss, swollen feet and ankles, and skin discoloration, all of which are side effects of a protein deficiency in the body.
IV. Materials; Urine samples, Patient urine sample(unknown), test strips
V. Procedure; You need four urine samples to begin this
