What are the ions present in sweat and urine?
Although the living body is overall considered organic, there are many inorganic (in the chemistry definition of the word) within the body that are vital for normal function. Several of these can be found in normal urine, including bicarbonate ions and potassium ions. One of the major inorganic ions found in the urine is ammonium (NH4+) - this is a waste product of protein metabolism and excretion of this is a primary function of the urinary tract.
What are normal results for a Bence Jones protein test?
Bence Jones proteins normally are not present in the urine.
Calcium in urine?

What is the significance of having the result of 3-5 hpf pus cells in the urine?
Having white blood cells present in the urine is not cause for alarm if no other symptoms are present. If there are other symptoms, then a doctor should be consulted to see about the possibility of a UTI.
What is calcium for a rabbit?
Rabbits need calcium in their diet just like the rest of us, but they don't need very much of it (especially grown adults). When rabbits have too much calcium in their bodies, they get rid of it in their urine. Sometimes, a rabbit's urine looks a little cloudy and/or leaves a white powder residue after its dried -- this is a normal way for rabbits to excrete their excess calcium. However, if the urine is thick, the consistency of toothpaste, and the colour of mustard (dark yellow), then your rabbit has "urine sludge" and needs to see a vet with experience and knowledge in how to treat rabbits. Urine sludge can lead to serious health complications. If you see your rabbit straining to urinate, and not urinating successfully, this can also be a sign of urine sludge, or bladder stones (another consequence of too much calcium in the rabbit's body), and the rabbit should see the vet. If a rabbit has problems with calcium, it might be related to a calcium-rich diet, or it may be genetic -- either way, the rabbit needs professional help. See the related questions below for more help about rabbit health and medical care.
Calcium oxalate in urine?
Calcium oxalate crystals are the most common cause of kidney stones. They are precipitated in the kidneys by eating tomatoes, leafy vegetables and excessive rice.
What happen if calcium oxalate is few in urine?
That's a good thing. Calcium Oxalate is the primary cause of kidney stones - you want as little calcium oxalate going through your kidneys as possible.
What is hypercalciuria?
It means that there is an increased calcium oxalate in the urine and can be later grow as big kidney stones.Acid ash diet is recommended and drink plenty of water to dissolve calcium stones.
Can milk give you kidney stones?
common sense says that more ll be the consumption more ll be stones but it is really illogical it has long held that consumption of too much calcium could promote the development of calcium kidney stones. However, current evidence suggests that the consumption of low-calcium diets is actually associated with a higher overall risk for the development of kidney stones This is perhaps related to the role of calcium in binding ingested oxalate in the gastrointestinal tract. As the amount of calcium intake decreases, the amount of oxalate available for absorption into the bloodstream increases; this oxalate is then excreted in greater amounts into the urine by the kidneys. In the urine, oxalate is a very strong promoter of calcium oxalate precipitation, about 15 times stronger than calcium.by Dr. Ankur Sharma

Kidney stones are least likely to be composed of?
Calcium stones are the most common type of kidney stone and occur in two major forms: calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate. ...Uric acid stones form when the urine is persistently acidic. ...Struvite stones result from kidney infections
What can dissolve kidney stones?
Since most kidney stones are mineral in nature, especially calcium salts, a more acidic urine may dissolve this over several months. It is unlikely that an acidic enough urine could be consistently maintained, since the kidneys try to keep the acidity balanced in the urine. These will either pass on their own or can be surgically removed, often laparoscopically. Then the best advice is to make a habit of keeping well hydrated and more urine produced every day.

What is normal urine creatinine level for 5 year old boy My grandson has urine creatinine level of 118 along with increased calcium level. Renal ultra sound is negative for stones.?
Normal creatinine values in urine is 1-2grams per day, no specificity for children vs. adults an increase can be a sign of infection. Normal creatinine clearance values in urine are 100-140ml/min. An increase can be a sign of Kidney disease. As for the calcium levels being elevated it depends on how elevated and whether elevation was in the blood or the urine. Was it total calcium or ionized? Sorry I couldn't help you more.
What conditions might predispose a person to kidney stones?
There are several types of kidney stones, but the most common are calcium oxalate stones, followed by calcium phosphate stones.A variety of foods contain oxalates, which are usually bound up with other compounds in the intestines. When oxalates make it to the kidney, they bind with calcium and can form stones."Calcium oxalate stonesThe most common type of kidney stone is composed of calcium oxalate crystals, occurring in about 75 to 80% of cases,[9] and the factors that promote the precipitation of crystals in the urine are associated with the development of these stones.Perhaps counter-intuitively, current evidence suggests that the consumption of low-calcium diets is associated with a higher overall risk for the development of kidney stones.[2] This is perhaps related to the role of calcium in binding ingested oxalate in the gastrointestinal tract. As the amount of calcium intake decreases, the amount of oxalate available for absorption into the bloodstream increases; this oxalate is then excreted in greater amounts into the urine by the kidneys. In the urine, oxalate is a very strong promoter of calcium oxalate precipitation, about 15 times stronger than calcium.Uric acid (urate)About 5-10% of all stones are formed from uric acid.[9] A risk factor is obesity.[21] Uric acid stones form in association with conditions that cause hyperuricosuria with or without high blood serum uric acid levels (hyperuricemia); and with acid/base metabolism disorders where the urine is excessively acidic (low pH) resulting in uric acid precipitation. A diagnosis of uric acid nephrolithiasis is supported if there is a radiolucent stone, a persistent undue urine acidity, and uric acid crystals in fresh urine samples.[22][edit] Other typesOther types of kidney stones are composed of struvite (magnesium, ammonium and phosphate); calcium phosphate; and cystine.Struvite stones are also known as infection stones, urease or triple-phosphate stones. About 10-15% of urinary calculi consist of struvite stones.[23] The formation of struvite stones is associated with the presence of urea-splitting bacteria,[24] most commonly Proteus mirabilis (but also Klebsiella, Serratia, Providencia species). These organisms are capable of splitting urea into ammonia, decreasing the acidity of the urine and resulting in favorable conditions for the formation of struvite stones. Struvite stones are always associated with urinary tract infections.The formation of calcium phosphate stones is associated with conditions such as hyperparathyroidism and renal tubular acidosis.Formation of cystine stones is uniquely associated with people suffering from cystinuria, who accumulate cystine in their urine. Cystinuria can be caused by Fanconi's syndrome.Urolithiasis has also been noted to occur in the setting of therapeutic drug use, with crystals of drug forming within the renal tract in some patients currently being treated with Indinavir, Sulfadiazine or Triamterene."
Is diet related to vulvodynia?
Those who believe that vulvodynia may be caused by acidic, irritating oxalate crystals in the urine, recommend trying a low-carbohydrate, low-oxalate diet
