Dipstick measurements of urine specific gravity
Aim—To evaluate the reliability of dipstick measurements of urine specific gravity (U-SG). Methods—Fresh urine specimens were tested for urine pH and osmolality (U-pH, U-Osm) by a pH meter and an osmometer, and for U-SG by three diVerent methods (refractometry, automatic readout of a dipstick (Clinitek-50), and (visual) change of colour of the dipstick). Results—The correlations between the vis...
متن کاملDifference in 24-Hour Urine Composition between Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Adults without Nephrolithiasis
BACKGROUND Diabetic patients are more likely to develop kidney stones than the general population. The underlying mechanisms for this disparity remain to be elucidated. Little is known about the relationship between urine composition and diabetes mellitus in non-stone-forming individuals. We sought to examine the differences in the 24-hour (24-h) urine composition between diabetic and non-diabe...
متن کاملAccuracy of urine dipsticks, 2-h and 12-h urine collections for protein measurement as compared with the 24-h collection.
The presence of protein in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy is a sign of a worsening condition and thus requires early intervention to prevent adverse consequences. Accurate assessment of proteinuria in patients with pre-eclampsia will ensure prompt and timely intervention to reduce or prevent the maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality associated with pre-eclampsia. This study compar...
متن کاملA Comparison of 4- and 24-Hour Urine Samples for the Diagnosis of Proteinuria in Pregnancy
Background: Preeclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy, and it is vital to diagnosis the condition as early as possible. Proteinuria is an important symptom of preeclampsia, and repeated urine analysis to screen for the condition is part of the standard antenatal care. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between 4- and 24-hour urine total protein values to examin...
