Question 4

what does it mean when you have aurates = many in urinalysis?

Usually, not ...: The presence of urate crystals in urinalysis usually means nothing important for average healthy persons, reflecting the degree of dehydration, the absorption and metabolism of purine which may vary and be affected by drugs, diets, diseases like diabetes, kidney failure, obesity, etc. In sum, it is commonly seen in urinalysis and usually not meaningful. More? Ask your doctor.

Question 5

having 300ml col in an urinalysis what does it mean or cause is it bad?

Accepted Answer

Clarification needed: Urinalysis typically measures urine acidity (ph), specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, nitrates/esterase (indicator for infection), and hemoglobin (indicator of red cells).  The values for these tests do not match up with your question, the only thing i can think of that matches up numerically on dipstick is protein (mg/dl) or glucose (mg/dl).  Please clarify.

Question 6

what does "pi" stand for on a urinalysis? and what does it mean when it is "high"? urinalysis shows it as 5-10 when normal is 0-3

Accepted Answer

Urine analysis: I betcha your UA is registering "epi" cells.  These are normal kidney or ureter or bladder or even vaginal cells. Sometimes the tech will report "squamous" cells. Urine pH is also reported but normal range is 5 to 7.  Shedding these cells is not particularly worrisome, but interpretation requires a reading of what else is in the urine and if an illness is apparent.  Suggest repeat and discussion

Question 7

urinalysis results were:  s.g. 1.007, ph of 6.0 and ubg of 3.2 umol/l what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: All reported value can be normal, but SG of 1,007 is indicative of diluted urine resulting from common compulsive beverage consumption or occasional impaired kidney function in its concentrating ability. Detail? Ask Doc timely.

Question 8

what can a "dipstick urinalysis" mean?

Accepted Answer

A screening test: Urine is routine testing for many chemicals by dipping a paper coated with reagents. It tests for ph, sugar, proteins and more. It is used to screen urine for many diseases. See this site for more info.

Question 9

what does blood 1+ mean in a urinalysis?

Accepted Answer

Blood in the urine: Blood in the urine has nearly 100 causes.  It is never normal.  It should be evaluated by a urologist.

Question 10

what does trace of pus in a urinalysis mean?

Accepted Answer

Need to rule out: Infection in the urinary system. You did not provide a quantitative information about the number of pus cells. All lab results need to interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the test is usually in the best position to do that.
