No, occult blood in urine and hemoglobinuria are not the same. Occult blood refers to the presence of red blood cells in urine that may not be visible to the naked eye, often identified through laboratory tests. Hemoglobinuria, on the other hand, is the presence of free hemoglobin in the urine, typically resulting from the breakdown of red blood cells. While both indicate some form of blood-related issue, they represent different underlying conditions.
If blood pressure increases, more blood will be forced out of capillary into the glomerulus. If the same amount of water will be reabsorbed by the capillaries from the proximal convoluted tube, the loop of Henle and the distal convoluted tube, urine production will increase. If blood pressure drops, less blood will be forced out of the capillary, which gives us the opposite effect.
Urine is produced the same way in both males and females. It is a filtrate of the blood. The kidneys filter waste out of the blood, this waste is then sent to the bladder, and this waste is urine. From the bladder it moves through the urethra and is then voided. A man's urethra is considerably longer than a woman's, and a man's urethra terminates at the head of the penis.
Yes, especially if they do a blood test. As soon as you become pregnant, "preg factor" hormone appears in the blood. A blood laboratory test is very accurate, because they are looking for that hormone. A urine test works on the same concept; reacting to preg factor hormone in the urine; a blood test can look for lower levels of the hormone.
I am googling the same question. the doc said I can take 2, but I think 2 made me pee blood
no they are not the same although they both belong to the urinary system. the kidneys are filtering units that remove unwanted waste, minerals, and excess water from the blood as urine. the urine is transferred via the 2 ureters to the bladder where it is stored until the desire to urinate occurs.
Blood in urine could be a sign of a bladder infection. Drink lots of water or see your doctor.
YES! If you take methadone pill or liquid, It will show up as methadone in your urine drug test or in a blood drug test. Its still methadone either way you take it.
It depends on the Dr. Most perform urine and blood tests first and if one or both return positive then you would receive an ultrasound.
Human tears and urine are not considered electrolytes. Electrolytes are minerals in the body that carry an electric charge, such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, which help regulate important functions like muscle contractions and fluid balance. Tears and urine are made up of water, salts, proteins, and waste products, but they do not typically contain the same concentration of electrolytes found in blood.
Kind of hard to do when urine and semen cannot flow at the same time. The lines connecting them shut off and open separately, especially during erection. The increased blood blocks off the line for urine to the urethra so only semen can come out.
I have just this minute come back from the doctor. My urine test was negative but my blood test was positive. I have been told that my HCG levels are extremely low therefore producing a negative urine test. I was also told that I am either 1-2 weeks pregnant or that I am in the process of a miscarraige. I had an internal exam and my cervix is closed which is a good sign! I would suggest to you if you had the same thing happen to wait a few days and go back and have both tests done again to see where your levels are at. Either way, keep a close eye on it. Hope this helps.
To use gravity as free primary force for induction. Same reason why catheterized urine bags are below the patient.
