Urine chemistry refers to a group of tests performed on a urine sample.
Alternative NamesChemistry - urine
How the test is performedFor this test, a clean-catch (midstream) urine sample is needed. For more information, see: Urine collection - clean catch.
Your doctor will order certain tests, which will be done on the urine sample in a laboratory.

What is the first element prepared in laboratory?
The first element prepared in a laboratory was phosphorus by the alchemist Hennig Brand in 1669. He extracted it from urine through a chemical process, marking the beginning of experimental chemistry.
What does c mean on urine a urine test?
The 'c' on a urine test typically refers to the concentration of the urine sample. This concentration is measured to assess the urine's specific gravity or how dilute or concentrated it is. It can indicate hydration levels or certain medical conditions.
What are the types of urine specimen?
The types of urine specimens commonly used for testing include random urine, first-morning urine, clean-catch midstream urine, and 24-hour urine collection. Each type provides different information based on the timing and collection method.
If you mix water with urine what will be the results of a urine test?
Mixing water with urine will dilute the urine sample, potentially affecting the accuracy of the urine test results. The concentration of substances in the urine, such as drugs or metabolites, may be lower than expected, leading to false-negative results. Dilution of the urine sample is generally considered an attempt to cheat or manipulate the test.
Can explosives be made from urine?
No, explosives cannot be made from urine. Urine does not contain the necessary chemicals or properties to produce explosives.
What are the most commonly tested body fluids in clinical chemistry?
Blood and urine (wee)
What is chemistry health?
You think probable to chemical analysis of biological samples (blood, urine, etc.).

How does different substances affect urine?
Well I am not a Chemistry Teacher but I do know that a type of liquid which affects your urine is RedBull it often can change the colour of your urine to amazing, weird and gross colours. Source -: Modern Studies Teacher
What is the acid-base chemistry associated with diaper rash?

What can you feed your dogs so when they pee th grass doesn't turn brown?
it is not normal for dog urine to kill grass. something is odd - either your dog has something causing unusual urine chemistry or you have very delicate grass! I have 4 dogs and have had others now departed. never did they kill grass. some plants are sensitive to urine but not common grass varieties
Can severe cat urine odor cause permanent damage to the lungs?
Due to the presence of ammonia in urine, it is feasibly possible, assuming the levels of ammonia in the air reach unprecedented concentrations, for the ammonia to alter the internal chemistry of the lungs and cause damage. Under normal circumstances, this is nearly impossible.
Why does your urine smell like urine?
Because urine has urine in it.
What is the first element prepared in laboratory?
The first element prepared in a laboratory was phosphorus by the alchemist Hennig Brand in 1669. He extracted it from urine through a chemical process, marking the beginning of experimental chemistry.
