LABOKLIN Service ID: 2001
semi-quantitative collection of clinical chemical and cellular parameters and measurement of the specific gravity
| Material | Urine 5 ml |
| Parameter | Specific gravity, pH value, protein, haemoglobin/myoglobin, bilirubin, urobilinogen, glucose, nitrite, ketone bodies and erythrocytes, leukocytes, bacteria, yeasts, cylinders, epithelia, crystals |
| Method | Dry chemistry, photometry, microscopy, refractometry |
| Duration | 1–2 working days |
| Remark | - If the patient is currently being treated with medication (antibiotics, allopurinol, etc.), this should be noted on the submission form.
- This test is also offered in combination with UPC (urinary protein/creatinine ratio) or a urine culture (bacteriology). The required sample material and the duration of the service differ for these combined services.
- If characteristic crystals are found in the sediment, the animal species, urine pH and specific gravity should be included to draw clear conclusions about the chemical composition. Larger concretions can be analysed by FTIR (see Urinary Calculi).
