Abnormal constituents of
Urine
• Urine
- Water (95°
/o) &Solids (5°
/o)]
- Urinary out put: 1-1.5 L per day.
- Almost all substances found in urine are also find in
blood.
- may also contain cells, casts, crystals, mucus &
bacteria.
• Urine:
- Provides information about functioning &
abnormalities of kidneys &urinary tract
- Help in diagnosis of various systemic diseases [+nee
or - nee of several substances in urine]

• Preservation
- For routine analysis, urine is best examined fresh.
- Bacterial growth will ruin a specimen if analysis is
delayed for >3 hrs.
- Refrigeration: best way to preserve if analysis is
delayed.
• Refrigeration for >24hrs isn't recommended.
• Chemicals used
- Toluene
- Thymol [for sugar estimation]
- Formalin
- Boric acid
- Camphor
- Toluol [for acetone estimation]
- Chloroform

One of imp. functions of kidney is pH regulation.
Blood pH: 7.4 &urine pH: - 6.0 (4.6 - 8.0)

Benedict's Test
• Copper reduction test in alkaline medium
• Principle:
- Reducing sugars under alkaline medium, tautomerise
to form enediols (powerful reducing agent), which
reduces cu++ to cu+.

• Procedure
- 5 ml of Benedict's reagent was taken in a test tube.
- 8 drops of urine was added.
- Mixed well.
- Boiled for 2 min
- Cooled &color was observed.
