URINALYSIS

I. INTRODUCTION

Urinalysis: A test that is done in order to analyze urine. Because toxins and
excess fluid are removed from the body in urine, analysis of urine can provide
important health clues. Urinalysis can be used to detect certain diseases, such
as diabetes, gout, and other metabolic disorders, as well as kidney disease. It can also
be used to uncover evidence of drug abuse. Accurate urinalysis may require a 'clean
catch' of urine. Before a person gives a urine sample, he or she should drink plenty of
fluids and wait until 1 or 2 seconds into the flow of urine before catching the urine in
the receptacle. For some tests it is important to get the first urine of the day, which
contains the highest concentration of toxins and other substances to be analyzed. For
other tests, a 24-hour collection of urine may be needed.

III. MATERIALS
25 – test tubes, test tube rack, test tube brush, test tube holder, tripod, alcohol
lamp, wire gauze, 5-10ml graduated cylinder, 100ml graduated cylinder, 500ml
beaker, 5-100ml beaker, 5-medicine dropper, blue and red litmus paper, pH
paper, pH meter, Hydrometer

5ml 5% acetic acid, 5ml Benedict’s solution, 5ml Fehling’s A and B, 5ml
Glacial acetic acid, 2ml ammonia, 2 ml conc. NaOH, 2ml conc. HCl, 5ml
bromine water, 5ml-10% NaOH, Sodium nitroprusside, distilled water
IV. PROCEDURE

Physical Test
A. Test for specific Gravity
Place a 90 ml of urine sample in a 100 ml graduated cylinder. Immerse
hydrometer and determine the specific gravity of the urine sample.
B. Color
Note the color of the urine sample
Chemical Test
A. Reaction:
Test the reason of urine with blue and red litmus paper.
B. pH:
Test pH of the urines sample using pH paper and pH meter.
C. Detection of Albumin:
Fill the test tube almost the top with clear urine. Heat (direct heating) the upper
third to boiling point. The lower 2/3 point should not be hated. This portion will serve as
your constant. If a cloud forms, aadd-4 drops of acetic acid. Heat once more and place in
a rack. Observe after 5 minutes. Record your observation.
NOTE: When the cloudiness remains after the addition of acid, it is due to albumin or nucleoproteins, if it
disappears, it is due to phosphates.

DO NOT agitate, stir or shake the urine during the two heating process.

D. Detection of Glucose: Benedict’s test


D.1. Place 3 ml of Benedict’s reagent in a clean test tube, then add 5 ml of
urine. Mix thoroughly. Boil it in a water bath for 10-15 minutes. Allow the tube to cool
and if glucose is present, red or yellow precipitate will appear. Record your observation.
D.2. Mix equal amount of Fehling’s solution A and B in a test tube. Add
enough water in the proportion of 1 is to 5 (1 part Fehling’s to 5 parts distilled water). To
the solution, add 5 ml of urine sample. Bring to boil (in water bath), if glucose is present,
red or yellow precipitate is formed. Record your observation.
E. Test for Acetone: (Determine the degree of acidosis in diabetes mellitus).
Lange’s test:
Take about 10 ml of urine in a test tube, and add 10 drop of glacial acetic acid and
2-4 drops of sodium nitroprusside reagent and run a little diluted ammonia upon
its surface. If acetone is present, a reddish-purple ring will form within a few
minutes at the junction of the two fluids. (DO NOT shake or stir or stir the
mixtures). Record your observation. (watch a video)

F. Detection of Urea:
In a test tube, place 5 ml of urine then add 2 ml of conc. Sodium hydroxide and a
few drops of bromine water. Note the production of nitrogen gas. Record your
observation. (watch a video)

G. Detection of Uric acid:


In a test tube, place 5ml of urine in a beaker. Add 1 ml of conc. HCI, stir well and
set side until the next laboratory period. Describe the crystal deposits on the side
of the beaker. Record your observation.
