You must collect every drop of your urine during the 24-hour collection period. The volume of the urine is not important as long as it represents every drop that you pass. If you feel that the volume of urine will be greater than can be contained in the collection bottle provided by the lab‚ ask them for a second bottle. If you need to have a bowel movement‚ you must separate the urine in time or space. If you are asked to collect multiple 24 hour collections‚ you must keep each days collection separate

Biuret Test Biuret Test • Biuret Test is a chemical test used to show/detect the presence of peptide bonds‚ which are the basis for the formation of proteins. Explanation In the presence of peptides‚ copper (II) ion forms a violet-colored coordination complexes in an alkaline solution. This test can be used to asses the concentration of protein because peptide bonds occur with the same frequency per amino acid in the peptide. According to Beer-Lambert Law‚ the intensity of the color and hence

April 22‚2014 Disease fact sheet What is Wilson disease? Wilson disease is a genetic disorder that prevents the body from getting rid of extra copper. A small amount of copper obtained from food is needed to stay healthy‚ but too much copper is poisonous. In Wilson disease‚ copper builds up in the liver‚ brain‚ eyes‚ and other organs. Over time‚ high copper levels can cause life-threatening organ damage. Pathophysiology and clinical features of Wilson disease Wilson disease is an autosomal

Urine Testing Science Research What is urinalysis? It is the physical‚ chemical‚ and microscopic examination of urine. Urine testing is an important tool used for medical testing on patients. It can be useful for providing information on a person’s body. Its checks many things like‚ for diseases‚ sugar‚ pH (acidity)‚ protein‚ and bacteria. Doctors or adults at home use urine dipsticks. They are narrow plastic strips which have several squares of different colors attached to it. Each square

Legionnaires’ Disease is pneumonia that’s caused by bacteria (Center For Disease Control and Prevention‚ 2015). The name of the bacteria that causes Legionnaire’s is Legionella pneumophila. Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs; this specific type of pneumonia is serious and can threaten one’s life. The body system that is affected is the respiratory system. Another body system that can be affected is the digestive system. This disease can lead to complications such as respiratory failure‚ septic

if there is a relationship between fluid intake and urine output‚ by measuring my daily fluid intakes and urine outputs. Hypothesis: The volume of urine I will produce will be at least half of the volume of fluids I will drink‚ due to the body’s ability to carry out a water balance just as one would have on oxygen‚ carbon dioxide to maintain a healthy and working body. For example if I drink 1000cm3 of fluids then the expected amount of urine I should produce would be around 4000 cm3 to 6000 cm3
