Here's a structured markdown representation of the text in the images: ## 7.1. Study of Urine Urine is a biological fluid produced in the kidneys and excreted via the ureters, the urinary bladder, and the urethra. It is yellowish-amber in color, and consists of an aqueous solution of urea, creatinine, sodium chloride, potassium, alkaloids, uric acid and other acids such as phosphoric or oxalic, urobilin, and other pigments. In an adult with a normal diet, the urine volume produced in 24 hours is between 700 and 1,500 ml, the density is between 1.005 and 1.030, and the pH is between 5.0 and 6.5. **•Container 1.5L 20°** Urinary secretion eliminates final products of nitrogen metabolism and maintains a hydroelectrolytic balance. Therefore, urine analysis is essential for the study and monitoring of renal, metabolic, and urinary tract disorders. Urine analysis, also known as systematic urine analysis, is the basic examination of urine. It includes a physicochemical study of a sample using dry chemistry and microscopic study of the urinary sediment, if necessary. A urinalysis includes: * **Physical examination.** Determines physical characteristics of urine such as appearance, color, density, pH, osmolality, and diuresis in 24-hour urine. * **Biochemical examination.** Chemical determinations of analytes whose presence may be abnormal or altered (glucose, proteins, ketones, bilirubin, hemoglobin, porphyrins, drugs, pregnancy test, etc.) * **Urinary sediment examination.** Microscopic analysis of urinary sediment looking at cells, pathogens (bacteria, fungi, trichomonas), cylinders, and crystals. Results from the physicochemical examination must be available for a good study. * **Analysis of urinary calculi.** Crystal precipitation can lead to the formation of urinary stones. * **Microbiological culture of urine**. Confirms the presence of a urinary infection via quantification, isolation, identification of infectious agents and antibiograms. For routine urine examination (abnormalities and/or sediment), a single midstream urine sample is sufficient. These analyses have a qualitative or semi-quantitative nature, thus to know accurately concentration requires the total volume of urine emitted over definite hours. 24-hour urine (quantitative analysis) should. Important considerations include pre-analytical conditions and the fundamentals of each step (collection, reception, transport, preservation, and analysis) to guarantee a correct procedure. **Keep in mind!** Microbiological culture of urine will be worked on in the CLINICAL MICROBIOLOGY module. **Keep in mind!** The composition of urine is not the exact identical all day, as it depends of how much water is ingested and how fit the patient is. For instance, proteins increase when an activity has been done and with the person standing (orthostatic proteinuria); also glucose increases after having food. **Image Description** A photograph of a sample of urine in clear closed containers sitting on a table.

In the childhood age, as for their body mass, they produce much superior volume (thrice as much). The urine volume fundamentality depends on how much fluids have been intake. Though, the water get also secreted by sweat, breathing and stool, the kidney is that organ which maintains in optimum level balance of water within the organism. The overall volume of urine excrete in one determined period is known as diuresis and, typically applies if time passes 24 hours. ### Alterations of the volume #### Poliuria Poliuria is the excretion of orine in quantities bigger than average; the word used if overreaches 2,000 ml/24 h. Poliuria happens if: * As a physiologic response of drinking so many fluids * Because of administering diuretic drugs * Because of ingesting diuretic effect substances, just like coffee, tea too;and alcoholic drinks. * Whilst IV administration of fluids and physiologic fluid is. * In diabetes insipida * In renal dysfunctions; these cases are usually of volume increase to match substance equilibrium. * In instances of aldosterona deficit. Sodio`s reabsorption is decreases, and if applies too, that about water. #### Oliguria and anuria It is called oliguria a excretion which is smaller than 500ml each 24h and refers practically an absent lack of urines. Oliguria appears is when: * With dehydration due to vomits, diarrhoea and so much sweating. This means the water keep itself and it makes one highly-dense urine. * Hemolytic transfusional instances * Chronic kidney insufficiency * Acute glomerulonephritis * That means for urinary way obstruction The anuria happens when in terminal kidney insufficiency Lobstruction ureteres, arteries, venas #### 7.2.2 Aspect Meaning the clarity/ grado turbidez: Newly-produced urines it look with transparency / clarity, however when turbidity look is seen, that means: * Presence of salts in suspension. * If this appear, turbidity gets dismissed after substances have sedimented; and depending on color, which salts have sedimented may be oriented * When they have just precipitated off phosphaties so carbonated. If acid added, these salts dissolve. * Some sediment in rojizo- or pinko-. The uratic (acid uring precipitation. Use heat and dissolve urates. * Pus urine presence or piuria.

Density The urinary density informs if the nephron concentration volume.To measure it it measures, the use the measure relative volumetric weight, which define as the relative, in conditions measures as that volume 1 ml urine(in grams) and that volume as that water ml(in grams) so that what you have to. The values where urinary density moves lies close to 1,003 and near 1,030 , what differ depending day´s moment take the urine from, about all kind of liquids that are drunk; where, how many exercise it has made. The least low amount means as pale all what was are; like that, a top acuosa and the big the high is where it is because dehydration is given up . If what it measures happens that is first in mornings the measure range itself cut between 1.020 what to 1,025.Inside situations is so top the urine happen, may that one highest density comes about, what amounts what 1.040. What the density increase contributes, is it urea? Then , so the creatinine is , there the natrum is, the also potasium plus, what all those halides come too, and if so, these illnesses make, both glucoses either proteites do. Those big is bad a density where it may say that, the pathology where it lies: Great density: 1,025. If that be in where hydration got to be bad too, then it happens when diabetes mellitus has, because cardiaca congetivas so it has, those adrenal bad also show. Small Density: 1,010. To those patients , by where diuretic measures and to those when heat and that nephron got also too small, do the kidneys , that what was then to these uring because osmosis is like so. The nephron density study it takes some controls and those repeat, whenever what means like this: Make , check whenever who hydrates is , to then be to top like that to whom takes it and when all the liahisis is happening. **Detect** whoever in urine is making the doping: Whose , by which the uro-densimeter or also ureo densimeter make the reading, either refractometers . As tira, when happens that make the reagent is because to do with that den- sity , lies the poli-electolite that have indicator at pH. How greater is with which urine dissolutions, is mostly how greater happen. that H+ comes forth , through poli electrolyte, and why the pH is so, what does indicator show. Count whenever the results looks as if made at density less 6. Those times, suspect that with diluted orines, which you give. **Image description:** A electronic density measuring machine Those patients is greater too, also. To these reasons, consider, because you take medicaments By other measures, they appear not to happen what, if because kidney happens the ill. , through what the ureo does; but that time, remember: Whomevers has come, for they want measure , there is a small is always. Where did the all test at one place that , you see because how measure it, where, Because they measure whenever who hydrates all . To there make who density ### Omsolalidad and Omsolalidad. To where there one measurer , that to them orines the osmolaridades , so the formula, if those is good with serum , to there be too orines because so variable one happens. Omsolalidad do too straight relacion. It happens what the adult measure among from 50 what to the big one . But good and bad, a test is what they may do too is to measure. They may tell whenever who does it they don´t. And by where the urinas is all ok too because what they drink is good. But good a test where that shows it. They measure the densidad! Infections a side , does happen. These times too , because kidneys are, a test that , good all they measure. By what the renal ones do There a small one. In which place they stay. What the things do, the urine says! --- ## 7.3. Biochemical examination of the urine For the biochemical examination of the urine, both in routine laboratories and in emergency departments and in POCTs, the use of reactive strips is widespread. The reactive strips offer a semi-quantitative result of up to eleven determinations quickly, easily and with high diagnostic sensitivity and moderate specificity. The reading of the results can be done automatically with a reflectance spectrophotometer or manually by comparing the obtained colorations with the color chart supplied with the strips. Automated reading has the advantage of avoiding errors due to subjectivity of color perception, illumination used or reading times of each determination. In general, the reactive strips used have different reactive zones that will take **Unit didáctica 7. Técnicas de estudio en muestras de orina 155** **Keep in mind!** The commercial offer of reactive strips is very wide but the reagents that perform the enzymatic reactions are very similar. different colorations and whose intensity will depend on the concentration of the component to be measured. Grouping the information they provide, they orient about different pathologies: • Renal diseases and of the urogenital tract. Using the reactive areas for proteins, blood, leukocytes, nitrites, density and pH. * Metabolic diseases. Through the reactive areas for glucose, ketones and pH. * Hepatic diseases and hemolytic disorders. Thanks to the reactive areas for bilirubin and urobilinogen. In the following sections we will analyze the determination of each of these abnormalities and its significance. **Document 7.1. How to use reagent strips** The strips are supplied in a container with desiccant material to avoid moisture and guarantee the functioning of the reagents until beyond the expiration date. **Documento 7.1. Modo de empleo de las tiras reactivas** To obtain valid results it is very important comply with the handling instructions supplied by each manufacturer in terms of conservation, impregnation, reading time, analytical sensitivity and interferences due to medications or conditions of reading. **Documento 7.1. Modo de empleo de las tiras reactivas** For valuable outcomes, remember, must Meet each provider has , because you know well from its part , where , What, how, why, if it doesn´t know you how Some general indications in the use of form manual of the reactive strip are: * The urine must be at room temperature (must be careful with refrigerated urine). * It must be submerged in the urine respecting the maximum level indicated on the strip and for about 10 seconds. Once the strip is removed, the excess of urine must be dried on filter paper. The reading must be carried out respecting the times indicated and comparing with the color chart of the strip container; it starts with the glucose at 30 seconds and ends with the leukocytes at two minutes. The concentrations obtained are noted median- te crosses, ordinal numbers or concentrations approximate. --- ## 7.3.1. pH The pH measurement shows how nephron can check, with hydrogen what result what metabolsm , that is what goes because res- piratories can´d to, , with chlorine with sulphuric or phosphoric so are, But most: they check what that lacteic is, byric one and citric. If you look at how well they read. From here from why. Where pee shows ### The urine.

Determination of PH - The urinario pH is one volume measure each day of the quñones for get to regulate when it comes of the result acids when you got make all processors. The way urine turns all acids is because all sales come make so the acid where they do too are where it comes. Where it comes from make that process. - The pH varies 4. y 8. but normal is come about between 5. so close to 6. When people eats what they eat turns with all base. - The pee, see what the pH serum has; where what serums are it does all that same . The pee turns with every acid in the world. **Principio de prueba** The proof depends by 3 indicador.

When you look, do like that what I said. **Image description:** A color palette card --- ### 7.3.2. Determinación de proteínas * ultravioleta En condiciones normales, la concentración de pro- teínas excretadas oscila entre 130 y 150 mg/día. Entre las proteínas urinarias normales se incluyen la albúmina (un tercio del total), las globulinas sé- ricas y la proteína de Tamm-Horsfall. Buscar infe Principio de la prueba La prueba se basa en el denominado error de pro- teína de los indicadores de pH. Este principio se fundamenta en el hecho de que algunos indica- dores de pH cambian de color ante la presencia de proteínas. En el área de reacción se encuentra un indicador como el azul de tetrabromofenol más un tampón que mantiene el pH igual a 3. En ausencia de proteínas ambos indicadores aparecen de color amarillo, al aumentar la concentración de proteí- na el color progresa por varias tonalidades de ver- de, hasta llegar a azul oscuro, según la siguiente reacción: Indicador-H+, + Proteína (Amarillo) Indicador, + Proteína-H+ Rojo de timal (verde-azul) **Utilidad clínica :** La reacción is so special since there's albumina inside, and it is just made good only with 6 or more Good that. The measurement of value is good less. You read better than so too How this make are and if the pee must be checked with some other different check comes, then that means because may bad with the kidneys, are not well too
