So well-explained. Thank you!!

have an interview tomorrow. It was really helpful

This reminded me of my disease IC. You should do a lecture on it. I get urinalysis' done frequently.

Thank you Dr Strong , great lecture.

Many thanks Doctor I can say u re a life saver really I recommend ur videos to all my class

these videos are useful to all medical fraternity including working staff

Excellent. Very detailed explanations on each👍👍👍💕💕💕🙏🙏🙏

Great video! Keep it up. Another cause of glycosuria is taking SGLT-2 inhibitors for DM (that is well-controlled).

Thank you for the videos... These are so well designed that anybody can understand and evaluate one's UA report. I have still a question ... I had a UTI 1 month ago and hospitalised due to repeated fever, severe sweating and fall in sodium level..also due to the Hydrochloro thyazine component in my hypertension medication.... Now I am quite Okay ..but my recent UA report shows that I have Plenty of pus cells along with bacteria ( with double positive sign in bracket)... Culture report is still to come,,, No symptom ... Taking L-cin as prescribed by the doctor. Why it is still present ???? please demonstrate ..

This was such a great review.

exellent, thank you very much for sharing a great work

This was very informative!

It is awesome and I can't thank you enough

Thank you very much, that was very helpful.

Hi, I know this is an old video but hopefully you will still see this. I haven't been well for a few years with ME/fibromyalgia, hypothyroidism and hypothalamic dysfunction. I have had very little thirst for years and can go all day without drinking or urinating so I thought it might be a good idea to keep an eye on my kidneys as far as I could. Plus I have very dark, cloudy urine a lot of the time. I bought some strips; when you have so many complaints you really don't want to bother doctors with every symptom or concern. I have been using them properly and have a photographic record. No leukocytes or nitrites. Small traces of protein. But this is the thing that puzzled me and I can't find any help in analysing it; 4 tests over 3 days in a row, my PH varied from right at the top of the scale to almost the bottom and back again, covering that range in one day. Day 1 (17:30) - PH 8.5, Day 2 (13:55) - PH 5.5, Also Day 2 (22:19) - PH 8.5 , Day 3 (12:02) - PH 5.5. Day 2, low PH coincided with blood at +25 Both low PH results coincided with high SG. I have done 2 tests at each time just to double check and because I have plenty of strips anyway. If you can help explain what this might mean that would be fantastic. Let's say you've helped already as I now have this all typed out if I have to take to a doctor. 😊 I would really rather avoid that if it's not necessary, just to avoid that look on their face as soon as you start talking about taking medical matters into your own hands.

Thanks for your information 💁‍♀️

Thank you that’s was brilliant !

Thank you so much you helped me a lot

Good video - explains a lot

it's so helpful thank you sir

it was very very helpful .. thank u so much

thanks, it's very helpful 👍👏

I have had large leucocytes in my urine for last 6 urine tests .Urine ph is 5 for 8months and well as micro blood. Gravity hangs around 1.010 my Urination go to frequent to hardly any .. slight stomache pain and weight loss. doctor does not want to address this. He says I am woman and blood is normal in urine and to just eat more sleep more.. is this normal? should I go elsewhere for help Thank you

since pH of 5 or lower means low excretion of H+, and pH or 7 to 8 is higher H+ excretion, what about pH of 6?

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

İ preparacited your explanation

Excellent explanation, thank you so much

I know of one other cause of a false positive heme test in urine. That is menstruation. Of course, if you are getting a urinalysis from a patient with a catheter, it isn't an issue. But if it is from your average female patient and she happens to be on her period when you get the urinalysis, then contamination with menstrual fluid will likely occur to the point that the urine looks red and turbid and thus any test for blood will be positive because the urine got contaminated by uterine bleeding.

Perfectttttt🎉🎉🎉🎉 don’t know how to thank you!

I have the urinalysis test strips. My question is do i need to do this first thing in the morning after i wake up ?

@StrongMed

7 жыл бұрын

It's commonly believed that the first void of the morning tends to be more concentrated, since people don't drink while they are sleeping. Therefore, the urine dipstick will be more likely to be positive than from urine samples later in the day (i.e. it increases both the true positive and false positive rates). So if you want to be absolutely sure nothing gets missed, first thing in the morning is best. However, if you also want to balance that with not getting worked up over a concerning result which later turns out to be wrong, then waiting until later might be better. If you aren't sure which is best for your specific situation, then I recommend talking with your doctor.

Thank you!

+Chintala Venkatarakesh Someday, but with so many requests, I'm unable to offer a specific estimate of when I (or another contributor) might get to them.

So if there is positive leukocytes but no nitrites would you this pt with a uti or no uti?

@StrongMed

5 жыл бұрын

The diagnosis of a UTI depends on both the presence of consistent symptoms (e.g. frequent urination and/or painful urination), findings on UA (+ leukocyte esterase +/- positive nitrites), and a positive urine culture (usually omitted in stable, otherwise healthy outpatients). The presence or absence of nitrites in a patient with a UTI depends upon the bacteria causing the infection - some bacteria create nitrites and some don't. So, in a patient with symptoms of a UTI, who has positive leukocyte esterase and negative nitrites, I'd say that a UTI is still more likely than not - particularly if there is no other obvious reason for the leukocytes (e.g. recent instrumentation of the GU tract). However, if this is a frequently repeating pattern for the patient - urinary symptoms with leukocytes and negative nitrites - it may be best to send off a urine culture to confirm or refute the presence of a true infection.

Have you heard of Turmeric powder and or ginger powder causes urine to be slightly very very pale fluorescent green ? I only thought asparagus did this 😊

The timing of the interpretation may have been off, or maybe the dipstick had expired. If it's neither of those things, it may just be a bad batch of dipsticks.

I'm still not clear on this, do you pee in a container then put the dipstick in that, or do you slide it directly into the "main tank"?

@StrongMed

3 жыл бұрын

A person can either pee directly into a small container, in which case its best for a "mid stream" collection, if possible. That is, pee into the toilet for a few seconds, briefly hold, then pee into the container for a quick moment. (It takes a little coordination...) Or for patients with a Foley catheter and catheter bag, urine can be taken from the bag, but this is generally not considered to be as accurate for identifying most abnormalities. Do *not* put the dipstick directly into the urethra!

You are so resorcefull

Can someone tell me what the meaning of pluses is? Like what +means for RBC and ++, +++ What's the difference between 3+ and +++? And does it make a difference for RBC, WBC, and bacteria or they mean the same amount?

@StrongMed

7 ай бұрын

There may be different detection thresholds for different brands of urinalysis test strips. In other words, you would need to consult the specific package insert for the strips to know how to translate the number of pluses to a specific numerical range. Urinalysis test strips do not directly detect RBCs or WBCs, and I would not use any strips that imply they do. In actuality, they detect globulin protein and an enzyme called leukocyte esterase, which are used as imperfect surrogates for RBCs and WBCs, respectively. However, "3+" and "+++" are synonymous.

What does negative mean in dipstick test

@StrongMed

5 жыл бұрын

It means no amount of that substance was detected, though as the video discusses (if memory serves me correct), there are a few reasons for some false negatives (i.e. the dipstick can be "negative" for something but that something is still present). For example, some specific kinds of proteins and ketones are not picked up by the dipstick.
