Question 1

just got results of urine test my urobilinogen came back positive  what dose this mean?

Accepted Answer

Urobilinogen: This could be normal. This is not a reliable test. If urobilinogen is positive or high liver disease should be suspected. You might have to have liver function panel done if the doctor suspects something is going on with your liver.

Question 2

what does it mean if urobilinogen and rbc nil in urine test?

Accepted Answer

Okay: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your results are not a cause for concern.     
Wish you good health!

Question 3

if my levels of  bilirubin and urobilinogen in urine is normal, does this indicate a healthy liver? i'm having routine liver enzyme tests and nervous.

Accepted Answer

Liver enzymes: While it is encouraging that these urinary tests are normal, they are not enough to ensure that your liver is healthy by themselves. If your doctor recommended routine screening tests of your liver, the blood tests are the only way to go. I would not worry; the vast majority of the people having a routine screening have completely normal liver tests. Good luck.

Question 4

hi i recently took a urine test. results were as follows; s.g. 1.028 ph 5.5 slightly increased urobilinogen amounts, pus cells 4-6/h.p.f. and positive for epithelial cells. everything else was nil and normal. what does this mean? does it mean a uti?

Accepted Answer

: First was this a clean catch mid stream urine that was tested. If no do one.  Epithelial cells are normal in urine. The come from the bladder and other parts of the urinary track and are shed as they wear out and new ones replace them. Does not mean at UTI.  Only a culture of a clean catch can document that.

Question 5

hi specific gravity 1.030 appearance slightly turbid ph 5.0 protein ( negative) hemoglobin ( trace) urobilinogen. (negative) wbc (2-4) rbc (1-2) ephitecill cells (nill) crystals ( calcium oxalate +) i have done my urine test so many time?

Accepted Answer

: Why are you doing the tests? All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, your results are not a cause for immediate concern.     Wish you good health!

Question 6

i had my gall bladder removed and had an ercp procedure where there was no stent placed but rather an incision widening the duct at the bottom. i recently had a urine test done for uti and urobilinogen level of 4mg/dl could it be a biliary blockage?

Accepted Answer

: Biliary blockage (obstruction) causes low urobilinogen in the urine, not high. Level of 4 mg/dl is high but not abnormal.

9 year old daughter had a urine test done and these were the results...
color was dark yellow and cloudy glucose and ketones was  . specific gravity was 1.025. blood trace non-hemolyzed. ph is 7.0. protein was 3+. urobilinogen 2mg leukocytes large?

Accepted Answer

Culture : Please have a culture sent. The large number of leukocytes may indicate a possible infection. Her urine is concentrated and she should drink fluids. A repeat urinalysis and renal function tests indicated to follow protein in urine.

Question 8

having right lower back pain.urine test specific gravity 1.030 blood modern  ph 5.5 urobilinogen 2mg/do dr said possible kidney stones.  waiting ct?

Accepted Answer

Flank pain: Your symptoms are fairly typical of a kidney stone or cyst; urine is concentrated; moderate blood is of concern; stones are possible; CT scan is a big test; ultrasound is easier to get; your meds can cause kidney issues - discuss this with your doctor;
