If a person is not diabetic why would he have ketones in the urine?
Ketones are a product that the body releases when it breaks down protein to use as energy. Normally, the body breaks down glucose for energy. However, in conditions like Type 1 Diabetes (aka Juvenile Diabetes or Insulin Dependent Diabetes) your body doesn't make insulin or doesn't make enough insulin, which moves glucose into cells so that your body can use it for energy. When the glucose can't get in, your body thinks it's starving, so it breaks down protein instead. If your body begins spilling ketones into urine, it may be a sign of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (which also has symptoms like fruity breath and rapid deep breathing)and I would recommend calling your doctor ASAP, because this is life threatening. Bottom line: ketones = you need insulin.
What are organisms in urine called that cause infection?
"Mid-flow clean catch" urine from a healthy organism should be free of microbes. Urine from the beginning of the flow may contain bacteria washed from the perianal region. Bacteria in the urine would indicate an infection.
What would not be found in analysis of cerebrospinal fluid protein glucose red blood cells or ketones?
keotones
Physicians often wants to know the glucose and lipids levels in a patient's blood and weather proteins are present in a patient's urine?
Elevated glucose levels would indicate diabetes, elevated lipids would indicate hypercholestemea which can be treated by diet and medication. Protein in urine would indicate kidney problems. These tests would be ordered by a good doctor for patients with any family history of diabetes, high cholesterol or heart problems; persons of certain ethic origins (especially asian); or anyone over 40. Some doctors may order them as a matter of course as the tests are cheap but the outcome for patients left undiagnosed is poor.
Are red blood cells are any other cells present in the renal filtrate in a healthy individual?
No. The blood in the urine would be present in case of urinary tract infection which breaks down the kidneys
Substances that are absent from the filtrate and urine of healthy individuals?
The two things that might indicate problems in health would be proteins and glucose. Proteins in filtrate or urine would indicate a possible kidney infection and glucose would indicate possible diabetes.
What is 4 plus ketones?
This would mean that there would be four or more ketones (C=O) in a molecule.

What types of aldehydes and ketones would you expect to be water-soluble?
The aldehydes and ketones having three or less carbon atoms are soluble in water.
What is found in the urine under normal conditions?
The normal finding would be a lack of finding. So - no blood, no protein, no glucose, no ketones, no nitrites or nitritrates, no albumin, no bilirubin. The urine should be clear, not cloudy or flocculent, have a characteristic but not offensive odour and have a Specific Gravity between 1000 and 1020.
What does 100 A WBC in urine mean?
Generally a WBC over 5 would indicate the presence of an inflammatory process at some stage of the urinary tract.
What does it mean if newborn infant urine is orange tinged?
Dark urine can indicate a number of things, from anything like dehydration to hepatitis to bladder infection to worse. I would start by giving the baby plenty of water to drink and see if that helps turn the urine clear. And I would call my pediatrician and make an appointment to be safe.
Effect of color in the urine?
Merely looking at urine won't tell you much. Darker or clearer will mainly depend on how much (water) you've drunk. Dark urine is often seen as a crude indication of the person being dehydrated. Some food items, like beets, can stain the urine red. Red urine would otherwise indicate that there's blood there, which is bad news and needs to be checked out by a doctor.

Can urine drug screen indicate you have taken more Vyvanse than prescribed?
Nope, it can't. It varies wildly how much of the Vyvanse and the metabolites get into your urine by how acidic or basic your urine is. Simply: If you drink a lemonade, or anything acidic, there will be MORE in your urine. If you were to eat a bunch of tums that day, there would be LESS in your urine. This would be grounds to throw out any meaningful test results. What you need to be worried about is a BLOOD test. Those can, do, and will reveal how much is in your system, and the doctor can reverse engineer using time to figure out a rough estimate.
