When you withdraw urine from the container into a gray top urinalysis tube using a double ended straw for what testing?

The urine in the gray top tube is typically used for specific gravity testing to measure the concentration of solutes in the urine. The double-ended straw helps transfer the urine without contaminating the sample.


What are the physical characteristics of urine which are checked at the beginning of the urinalysis?

The physical characteristics of urine checked at the beginning of a urinalysis include color, clarity (turbidity), odor, and specific gravity. These characteristics can provide valuable information about the person's hydration status, potential presence of infections or diseases, and overall kidney function.


Why do we centrifuge a urine sample when performing a complete urinalysis?

We centrifuge a urine sample to separate the liquid portion (urine) from any solid components (sediment). This helps to examine the urine sediment under a microscope to check for cells, crystals, bacteria, and other particles that may indicate a health condition.


What is urinalysis with microscopic exam?

Urinalysis with microscopic exam is a laboratory test that evaluates a urine sample for the presence of various substances like proteins, glucose, blood cells, and bacteria. The microscopic exam specifically involves looking at the urine sediment under a microscope to identify cells, crystals, and other particles that may indicate underlying health conditions.


What is a normal urinalysis?

What testing are you performing when you withdraw urine from the container into a gray top urinalysis tube using a double-ended straw?

The straw is merely being used to keep from contaminating the specimen. It is placed in the tube to then place it in the centrifuge. It is then spun to achieve a concentrated specimen at the bottom of the tube for microscopic examination. This is normal for almost all laboratory tested urinalysis test.


Does yellow urine mean your dehydrated?

Yes, yellow urine can indicate dehydration, as concentrated urine tends to be darker in color. However, various factors such as diet, medications, and vitamin intake can also affect urine color. Light yellow or pale straw-colored urine generally suggests proper hydration. If you're concerned about your hydration levels, it's best to monitor your fluid intake and overall health.
