LABOKLIN Service ID: 2051
semi-quantitative collection of clinical chemical and cellular parameters and measurement of the 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
urine-protein-creatinine ratio |
| 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.
- 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).
