Part 1 of 3 of a somewhat brief introduction to urinalysis for freshman/sophomore pre-nursing students. Individual tests are discussed (specific gravity, pH, leukocytes, protein, glucose, ketones, uroblinogen, bilirubin, blood and hemoglobin). Basic pathologies that can be indicated by comparing the individual tests are also discussed (diabetes, hypertension, preeclampsia, hemolysis, liver disease, biliary obstruction, urinary tract infection, severe diarrhea, etc).
