What indicators are important in routine urinalysis



Urine routine examination indicators include protein, urine specific gravity, white blood cells and red blood cells, urine sugar and other important.

1. Protein: Under normal circumstances, the glomerular filtration membrane can effectively prevent proteins with a relative molecular mass of more than 40,000 from passing through. Proteins with a relative molecular mass of less than 40,000 can pass through the filtration membrane but are reabsorbed by the proximal tubule. Positive urine protein usually indicates that the glomerular filtration membrane is damaged, which can be seen in glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis and other diseases.

2. Urine specific gravity: patients with renal insufficiency will have abnormal urine specific gravity. Detecting urine specific gravity can understand the concentration and dilution function of the kidney and determine whether there is any abnormal metabolic function of the kidney.

3. Leukocytes and red blood cells: a large number of leukocytes in the urine may be the presence of inflammation in the patient; if there are a large number of red blood cells in the urine, it may be glomerulonephritis, urinary stones, urinary tract tumors and other causes of hematuria.

4. Urine sugar: when the urine contains a large amount of sugar, it will be manifested as positive urine sugar, which may be caused by the patient suffering from diabetes and other reasons.

If the patient needs to perform routine urine examination, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital to consult a professional doctor to prescribe and evaluate the results of the examination.
