Interpretation of the Urinalysis (Part 1) - Introduction and Inspection

An overview of the components of a UA, along with discussion of urine color and turbidity.

[@D03178496]

Your explanations are very simple and clear. Thank you so much!

[@mandya2zm]

I've seen purple urine freaked me out the first time I saw it. The person did have a catheter and just had bad urinary bacteria infection. Wish someone had taught me about it before I saw it, very glad you mentioned it.

[@JanieO]

We had a couple of cases of it at a nursing home I worked at years ago. Purple urine bag syndrome. I guess it’s most commonly seen in urine catheter bags (if ever seen at all).

Funnily enough, Purple colored urine was the first atypical urine color I came across during my first day of Medicine rotation. Never knew that it were relatively rare. Come to think of it, Haven't seen it ever since.

[@smolgrizzly4608]

Do you remember what exact infection that patient had?

[@marjithsardar3577]

sir my albumin result shows "faint traces"..... What is the problem sir ?? I have kidney stone ....

[@rajeshmoses6763]

Is this type of test, uesd in drugscreen?

[@collinsamson8666]

Can I ask a question? Why does the urine turns cloudy after heat if there is a presence of proteins?

[@sandadm4956]

These are great! What software do you use to make these? I want to make some for some trainings that my office needs to take. thanks!

[@StrongMed]

Most of the images are PowerPoint slides which are exported as individual png files. The narration is recorded using free software called Audacity. Then I synch the png files and narration in Adobe Premiere. For the more complex images, I use Illustrator, Photoshop, or Fireworks, depending on exactly what I want to do. The occasional animation is created within Premiere. I'm relatively particular with my videos, so this workflow is more complicated and slower than most. I think a much more common approach is to use Camtasia to record narration as you run through a PowerPoint presentation while in PowerPoint - without use of additional video editting software. It's much faster that way, but I don't think the final product is quite the same. All depends on what you are going for.

What is the professional title of the person that analyzes human urine? Amazing video here. Very well done, and well thought out. Excellent progression of the topic(s).

[@StrongMed]

Thank you! If the person is not a physician and primarily works in the clinical lab, they are referred to as either a medical lab technician, or a urinalysis technician if they only deal with urine. Nephrologists (kidney doctors) also will occasionally examine urine under the microscope, but always leave the urine dipstick to the technicians.

[@johnsonbar5022]

@@StrongMed Thank you for your reply. There is a youngster in jr high school on my street that has expressed a desire to go to medical school. I'm going to give your web site to his parents and I hope this encourages him to look into the profession further. You have a natual way of explaining the complex into simple terms. ps. if this does encourage him to look into medical school, I can see his dad now, putting a for sale sign on his 32 street rod the very next day. Between you and I, I've been trying to buy that street rod for the last 12 years.

Nice video. Thank you for sharing.

[@misterkhan9324]

Sir I have a question.. Does lignocaine in uirne used for catherization affects urinalysis?? As We often catheterize patients using lignocaine..

[@StrongMed]

There are reports that lignocaine (a.k.a. lidocaine) can cause a false positive urine drug screen - depending on which specific assay is used, but it will not affect a conventional urinalysis (i.e. what's discussed in this particular short video series)

[@mohamedsiciidshire2151]

[@joelenesanoy4835]

can UA also be used to identify histamine level whenever a person has allergies?

[@StrongMed]

No. There is nothing in a conventional UA that would give reliable insight into the presence of allergies.

[@mrboo3049]

@@StrongMed sir/mam can urinalysis also detect if you have PROSTATE problems. such as Enlarge prostate or prostitis?? thanks

[@StrongMed]

@@mrboo3049 A urinalysis is not helpful at all for detecting an enlarged prostate. It can *potentially* detect prostatitis by either finding white blood cells, or less commonly red blood cells, in the urine - but those findings are not specific for the diagnosis. (i.e. most men with WBCs or RBCs detected on a UA do *not* have prostatitis).

[@mrboo3049]

@@StrongMed what is WBC'S. i.e's. RBC'S and UA in URINALYSIS??

[@StrongMed]

@@mrboo3049 WBCs = white blood cells; RBCs = red blood cells; UA = urinalysis

[@owenthomas9863]

what are white stringy bits in urine?

[@StrongMed]

It sounds like urine mucus, which can be normal, particularly if only happening occasionally and if not associated with any other symptoms. However, anyone noticing this happening frequently and/or if there is associated pain with urination, unusual color to the urine, or any other potentially relevant symptoms, the person should speak with a health care professional to see if a urinalysis or other testing is indicated.

[@owenthomas9863]

@@StrongMed ive been taking medication for gout naproxen. And now i have cloudy urine with WBC/uL +70.

[@StrongMed]

I'm really sorry, but I can't give any more specific, individualized medical advice on here.

[@kimkitty3914]

Why urine analysis is important before a surgery?

[@StrongMed]

If the surgery is on the urinary system, including the urethra, bladder, and ureters, a UA is checked because treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria (i.e. bacteria in the bladder & urethra) is thought to reduce risk of post-operative infection - in that specific type of surgery. In general, checking UAs prior to other forms of surgery is not indicated, and can result in unnecessary antibiotics and unjustifiable delays in surgery. This is an old, largely outdated practice that some older docs still hold on to. One reference (there are many others): www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6255075/

[@kimkitty3914]

@@StrongMed thank you so much. I’m having a liposuction and Brest surgery and I’m wondering why they need this. By the way I have acidic urine , but I guess I was fasting over 16 hours and low creatinine by a little bit I think it was because I do intermittent fasting. Thank you so much.

hi random doctors I feel pain sometimes while peeing I don't wanna tell my parents because I'm afraid that this have to do something with masterbation so is it risky not to?

[@StrongMed]

Pain while peeing can be the sign of a urinary tract infection. It should be evaluated by a health care professional as it may need to be treated. It is very unlikely to be related to masturbation. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide more specific medical advice on here. If you don't feel comfortable discussing this with your parents, please consider discussing it with your school nurse. Keep in mind however, that the school nurse may or may not be required to uphold confidentiality from your parents, depending on your school's policies and the applicable laws in your jurisdiction.

[@TruMystery]

Strong Medicine thank you vey much for your time I did urinalysis and my pus cells rate or whatever is 50-55 I'm taking ciprofloxacin (my father took me to the local hospital) but that doctor is useless he didn't say much so do you as a professional think that that 50-55 is high rate of that thing for a 16 years old I'm really concerned about that 😴
