Urine visual inspection

Urine is also called physiology or visual inspection, including urine volume, color, transparency, odor and specific density (specific gravity). Generally use random urine or morning urine specimens. Soy sauce color is seen in blood transfusion, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, and taking drugs such as aminopyrine and daunorubicin. Basic Information Specialist classification: urinary examination classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Tips: Fresh morning urine should be used as much as possible.

Oliguria (less than 0.4L/24h; less than 0.1L/24h for no urine); except for physiological drinking water or excessive sweating, pathological oliguria is seen in high fever, dehydration, shock disease, various kidneys Sexual diseases (such as glomerulonephritis) and post-renal diseases. 3. Proportion Increased in high fever, dehydration and other oliguria, as well as acute glomerulonephritis, diabetes. Reduce the incidence of polyuria such as diabetes insipidus, as well as various chronic kidney disease, renal insufficiency. 4, transparency turbidity Fresh urine is left for a long time, and urine may be slightly turbid; when a large amount of salt is contained, crystals may be precipitated when the temperature is lowered; Other turbid urine is found in pyuria, bacterial urine, hematuria, chyluria and the like. Extremely clear and transparent is seen in people with polydipsia such as chronic renal insufficiency. 5, smell Eating food such as garlic has a corresponding smell. Apple flavor is seen in diabetic ketoacidosis. Ammonia is found in chronic cystitis and urinary retention. Stenchy smell is not seen in urinary tract inflammatory diseases.
