Red and white blood cells, and epithelial cells can become damaged or destroyed in dilute urine, causing the numbers of these components to appear falsely decreased.

How do you dilute urine samples?

To dilute a urine sample, you can mix it with distilled water or a diluent solution in a clean container. The amount of diluent added will depend on the desired dilution ratio. Make sure to mix the sample thoroughly before testing.


How do you dilute a etg test?

Dilution of a urine sample for an ETG test involves adding water or a liquid to the sample in order to lower the concentration of the substance being tested for. However, diluting a sample can lead to an invalid result and is considered a form of tampering. It is not recommended to dilute a urine sample for an ETG test.


What are Nine types of urine specimens that can be collected?

Random urine sample First morning urine sample Midstream clean-catch urine sample 24-hour urine collection Timed urine sample Postprandial urine sample Suprapubic aspiration specimen Catheterized urine specimen Pediatric urine bag specimen


Would you expect to find Red Blood Cells under the microscope in a clean catch urine sample?

No, red blood cells should not typically be present in a clean catch urine sample. The presence of red blood cells in urine may indicate potential health issues such as urinary tract infection, kidney stones, or other underlying conditions that warrant further investigation.


If a tumor of the glucocorticoid-secreting cells of the adrenal cortex crowds out the cells that produce aldosterone what is the likely effect on urine composition and volume?

The tumor would cause increased secretion of glucocorticoids and decreased aldosterone production, leading to increased sodium and water retention in the kidneys. This would result in increased urine volume and decreased urine concentration, leading to dilute urine with low sodium levels.

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.


How do you test for soma in urine analysis?

To test for somatic cells in urine analysis, a urine sample is typically collected and then subjected to a microscopic examination. The sample is centrifuged to concentrate cells, and the sediment is examined for the presence of somatic cells, often indicating inflammation or infection. Additionally, a urine culture may be performed to identify any underlying infections contributing to the presence of these cells.


What are squamous cells in urine?

In humans, squamous cells are found in the epidermis of the skin, in the lining of hollow organs and in the respiratory and digestive tracts. Squamous cells in urine may indicate contamination due to the presence of bacteria.


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.


Can you tell a blood type by a urine sample?

No, you cannot determine a person's blood type from a urine sample. Blood type is determined by antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which are not present in urine. To determine blood type, a blood sample is needed for testing.


Is it true Amphibians produce far more concentrated urine than do reptiles?

the answer is... Yes eg if you took a sample of amphibian urine and a sample of reptile urine and put it under a microscope you would see that the cells change and the black dots in the amphibians urine sample are lighter than the reptiles


What is meant by positive three pus cells in the urine?

Normally human urine does not have any cells in it. When examining the urine under the microscope, the technician will determine if it has 1+, 2+, or 3+ number of cells present. It does not represent a specific number, just that there are a lot of cells in the sample.


Urine specific gravity of 1.012 is dilute or concentrated?

Dilute


Would tap water poured into your urine cover up a drug test?

No, pouring tap water into your urine will not cover up a drug test. Drug tests are designed to detect specific substances in urine, and adding water will dilute the sample but is likely to be detected by the testing process.
