Urinalysis incl. Sediment + U-P/C

LABOKLIN Service ID: 2051


semiquantitative collection of clinical chemical and cellular parameters and measurement of specific gravity

Material

urine 5 ml

Parameter

specific gravity, pH, protein, haemoglobin/myoglobin, bilirubin, urobilinogen, glucose, nitrite, ketone bodies,
erythrocytes, leukocytes, bacteria, yeasts, cylinders, epithelia, crystals and
protein-creatinine ratio

Method

dry chemistry, photometry, microscopy

Duration

1 - 2 days

Remark

  • Diagnostic clarification of urinary tract diseases and superior diseases (liver or kidney disease or metabolic disorders) which may lead to changes in urination (polyuria, stranguria and oliguria).
  • Samples arriving on Saturday will be analysed the same day; delivery of the findings will take place on Monday
  • If characteristic crystals (see category Image Gallery) 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).
  • Dog: Please indicate if treated with allopurinol.
