Polyuria: Urine output more than 2.5lit/day Ex: GN , DI Oliguria: urine output less than 400 ml/day Ex: fever , liver diseases , hypovolemic state like diarrhea, vomiting , cardiac failure etc. Anuria- completer cessation of urine / less than 50 ml/day Ex: shock, mercury poisoning , acute renal failure etc. Ratio of day urine to night urine is 2:1 to 3:1 This ratio reversed or decrease in diseases Factors effecting the volume include excess intake of water, consumption of salt, tea , coffee and other beverages
Dark colored urine – increased concentration of urine in AGN Red colored – hematuria, hemoglobinuria, myoglobunria Yellow colored – jaundice Black/ brown- porphyria, PKU, Alkaptnuria Orange color – patients taking Rifampicin
Ketoacidosis: due to presence of ketone bodies
Decreased – D. Insipidus Increased- D. Mellitus
Test for chlorine Method: take 5 mL of urine + 5 drops of conc HNO 3 + 2 mL AgNO 3 Observation: curdy white PPT Inference chloride is precipitated as AgCl with AgNO 3 in presence of HNO 3
Method: 5 ml urine + 1 ml conc HCl + 5 ml Ba Cl2 Observation: white ppt Inference: Sulphates ppt as barium sulphate with barium chloride
Method: take 10ml urine add 2 ml of strong ammonium hydroxide . Boil and cool it , filter it and discard the filterate ; dissolve the ppt in 1% acetic acid and divide the solution into 2 parts. Take 1 part and add 3 ml arsenomolybdic then add 1 ml of conc HNO 3 and heat it. Observation: fine yellow crystals are formed Inference: indicate the presence of phosphates
Method: To the 2 nd part of ppt prepared above add 2 ml of potassium oxalate. Observation : white ppt is observed Inference : indicates the presences of calcium
Method: Take 10 ml of urine and add 2 drops of N/10 NaOH . Heat it dip a glass rod in phenophthaline and keep it near the mouth of test tube Observation: white fumes are observed and phenopthalene red turns pink. Inference: indicates the presence of ammonia
ETHERAL SULPHATES Normal -0.06-0.12 gm/day Increased levels : seen in cysteinuria , homocystinuria and cyanide posioning Observation: white ppt is observed Inference: indicates the presence of etheral sulphates
Principle : urea present in urine reacts with Na hypobromide and liberates N2 in the form of bubbles along with H 2 O and CO 2 ; liberated N2 produces brisk effervescence Urea+NaOBr -------------------- NaBr+CO2+N2
Sodium Hypobromide test: : Experiment Observation Inference Take 3 ml of urea solution(urine) and add 3-4 drops of Na Hypobromide Brisk effervescence is observed Indicates the presence of urea
Specific urease test: : Experiment Observation Inference 5 ml of urea solution(urine) is taken in a test tube and add 1-2 drops of phenophtahline then add 1-2 drops of 1% CH3COOH . Now this solution is divided equally into 2 test tubes and name as T and other C . To the C test tube add 2 ml of boiled urease sol and to T test tube add 2 ml of unboiled ureses sol, keep both in water at 37 C for 15 min. C test tube shows no colour change as the enzyme is inactive T test tube shows pink colour due to enzyme action Indicates the presence of urea
Principle: Phenophthaline indicator in alkaline medium gives pink colour , in acidic medium it is colourless . Urea is hydrolysed by enzyme urease to NH 3. which gives pink colour in alkaline medium. T test tube and C test tube is colourless as urease is not hydrolysed to NH 3 . Source: Jacl beans, soyabeans , Horsegram
Jaffes method: Experiment Observation Inference Take 3 ml of creatinine solution(urine) in a test tube label it as T. In another test tube take 3 ml of distilled water and label it as C . Add 1 ml of picric acid to both test tubes. Then add 1 ml of 0.75 N NaOH to both test tube. Mix well and wait for 3 mins Deep orange colour is observed in T test tube yellow colour is observed in C test tube Creatinine react s with icric acid to form creatinine icrate . Indicates presence of creatinine
Creatinine reacts with picric acid to form creatinine pictrate which turns to deep orange in alkaline medium
Uric acid is strong reducing agent in alkaline medium . Uric acid reduces AgNO 3 to Ag 2 O which is black in colour .
Benedicts uric acid test: Experiment Observation Inference Take 2 ml of uric acid (urine) solution . Add pinch of Na2 Co3. Mix well and then ass 2 drops of Benedicts uric acid reagent Deep blue colour is observed Indicates the presence of uric acid
Composition: phosphoric acid, Arsenic acid , HCl and sodium tungstate In alkaline medium , uric acid reduces phosphtungstic acid to tungsten blue and it oxidises to allantoin . Uric acid is strong redcing agent
Schiff test: Experiment Observation Inference Take 2 ml of uric acid (urine)in a test tube add 2 ml of Na2 CO3. Take a filter paper and sock it with Ag NO3 then add 1-2 drops of solution which we have taken in test tube to it Colourless filter paper turns to black Indicates the presence of uric acid
