Study Notes
Physical Properties of Urine
- Normal urine volume per day is 1.5-2.5 liters
- Oliguria is urine volume less than 500 ml per day
- Polyuria is urine volume greater than 2 liters per day
- Causes of polyuria include diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, and increased fluid intake
- Causes of oliguria include dehydration, urinary obstruction, and heart failure
- Normal urine color is pale yellow
- Red urine can be due to hematuria
- Black urine can be due to alkaptonuria
- Chyluria indicates fat in urine
- Pyuria indicates pus in urine
- Calcium oxalate crystals have a rectangular plate shape with notched corners
Chemical Composition of Urine
- Albumin is not a non-protein nitrogenous compound
- Urea levels increase with increased protein catabolism
- Creatinine is a byproduct of creatinine catabolism
- Uric acid is a byproduct of purine catabolism
- Urinary ammonia is elevated in acidosis and cystitis, but decreased in severe nephritis
