Urine Specific Gravity Each day an adult excretes between 800ml and 2000mL of urine. This amount varies depending on various conditions that can influence fluid loss and fluid intake. For example‚ the loss of fluid through heavy sweating in hot weather reduces urine amounts. The minimum volume of urine needed to remove body wastes from an adult is about 500mL/day. The specific gravity of urine can be an indicator of disease or disruption in normal metabolism. As you recall from our earlier discussions

Urine production If body fluids are hypo osmolar‚ then kidney will produces hypo osmolar urine. (Dilute urine) If body fluids are hyper osmolar (dehydration) then kidney produces hyperosmolar urine. (concentrated urine) In the renal cortex the osmolarity of interstitial fluid is 300mOs/L going to 1200mOs/L in the papilla. From the cortex to the papilla there is an increasing hyper osmolarity of the interstitial fluid. Cortico papillary osmolarity gradient. Urine with osmolarity more than 300mOs/l

Chloride in Urine in Different Circumstances Aim: To determine the chloride content by titrating mixtures of urine against potassium thiocyanate under in different circumstances. Research Question: How do different conditions of urine samples collected affect its concentration of chloride which is measured by titrating the mixture of urine with potassium thiocyanate until it turns red? Hypothesis: The greater the consumption of food‚ the higher the chloride concentration in urine. This can

other plants surrounding it. Since my dogs urine had such effects on the plant‚ I wondered if my own would provide the same results. But instead of acting like a dog and soiling my own yard‚ I will explore the pros and cons of using human urine as a fertilizer. The first step in finding whether human urine can be used‚ as a fertilizer is understanding how we produce urine itself. In humans‚ soluble wastes are excreted primarily by the urinary system as urine. The urinary system consists of the kidneys

URINE WHAT IS URINE is a liquid by-product of the body secreted by the kidneys through a process called urination(or micturition) and excreted through the urethra. Kidney’s waste from protein metabolism urination - the primary method for excreting water-soluble chemicals from the body. Dark yellow urine is often indicative of dehydration. Yellowing/light orange may be caused by removal of excess B vitamins from the bloodstream. Certain medications such as rifampin and phenazopyridine can

A Summary of Alkaptonuria Alkaptonuria is an inborn error of metabolism that presents most notably with the occurrence of black urine when the urine is exposed to air. For this reason‚ it is also called the “Black Urine” disease. It is an autosomal recessive disorder and is therefore inherited genetically. Alkaptonuria is very rare‚ with a presentation of about 1:250‚000(ref1). The causality behind Alkaptonuria is a deficiency in homogentisic acid 1‚2 dioxygenase‚ an enzyme that is found in the

Laboratory Report on Urine Examination Introduction: When testing urine the test results may provide information regarding the status of carbohydrate metabolism and kidney function. The kidney glomeruli act as ultrafilters for the plasma protein; however as much as 150 mg/dl of protein may normally be excreted into the urine. In glomerular proteinuria‚ an increase in glomerular permeability occurs‚ resulting in an increase of urine proteins. High urine protein concentration therefore may indicate

Urine drug screening Factors affecting a valid specimen Urine creatinine concentration is assayed to detect diluted specimens. This can be caused by surreptitious addition of tap water or excessive fluid intake before the collection. A urine creatinine level < 1.76 mmol/L indicates a dilute specimen. A repeat specimen should be considered. The temperature of the specimen indicates if it is freshly passed. If the specimen is fresh‚ the temperature should fall in the range of 33–38°C. If
