Urinalysis Lab Report
Dear Sir,
Re: Urinalysis laboratory results for five patients
After running the urinalysis tests for five patients who visited the hospital recently, the following urinalysis results were obtained. It is my hope that these results will assist you in advising these patients appropriately.
Patient Number Glucose test
(test strip matches key on bottle) Amino acid test
(with biuret turns purple) Urea test
(with, 5 grams, urease + phenolphthalein turns pink) Salts test
(with silver nitrate turns to a white solid)
1 - - + -
2 - + _ +
3 + + + +
4 - - + +
5 + - + +
Normal key
Glucose –
Amino acid –
Urea +
Salts +
Patient number 1 had normal results except for the urea test. Patient number 2 tested negative (-) for glucose and urea tests and …show more content…
This kind of results shows that most of patient number 3 body organs are not functioning effectively. Patient number 3 probably has malfunctioned pancreas, liver, and kidney. The pancreas plays a crucial role in controlling the levels of glucose in the bloodstream. It releases hormones (glucagon and insulin) which help in regulating blood sugar. Liver cells absorb amino acids to trigger off a series of chemical reactions in a process known as the deamination of amino acids (Advancing Chemical Sciences par. 4). Kidney helps in maintenance of water balance in the body by regulating water concentration of blood plasma. Additionally, it regulates the levels of salts and excretion of urea. According to the urinalysis results, patient number 3 is suffering from diabetes type 2. Diabetes type 2 makes the body become resistant to the normal effects of insulin hence rendering the body ineffective to produce enough insulin in the pancreas. Diabetes type 2 is characterized by the increase of glucose levels in the bloodstream. The abnormal results for urea test and salts show that patient number 3 is suffering from chronic kidney disease and this might have been contributed by the diabetes type 2.Furthermore, the results suggest that the patient is also suffering from Hepatitis which results in a failure by the liver to deaminate amino acids. Treatment for diabetes type 2, the patient should start using insulin therapy, practice …show more content…
The kidney plays role in controlling the water balance in the body by regulating the levels of water in blood plasma. The urinalysis results indicate the presence of salts and urea in the urine of patient number 4. Therefore, the patient number probably is suffering from acute kidney disease. The disease condition is recognized by the increased levels of urea and salts in the body. Patient number 4 should go for kidney dialysis.
