Specimen Labeling | Patient's Name, Patien ID #, Date, Time of Collection, Type of Specimen, Attending Physicians Name |
Specimen Labeling | Never on the Lid |
Routine Urinalysis | Determining the status of the kidneys and their function |
Part 1 of Urinalysis | Physical Analysis |
Physical Analysis | Color |
Physical Analysis | Transparency (vs. cloudiness) |
Physical Analysis | Concentration through specific gravity |
Specfic Gravity | Concentration or # of particles when compared to deionized water |
Specific Gravity - deionized water | 1.000 |
Specific Gravity - Normal Urine | 1.005 - 1.030 |
Part 2 of Urinaysis | Chemical Analysis |
Urine Odor | Normal |
Foul, pungent odor | Bacterial infection |
Fruity Odor | Keytones |
Yellow/straw color | Normal/urochrome |
Red or brownish or pinkish color | Blood or "hematuria" |
Brown or Black color | Caused by the acid reacting to hemoglobin or melanin (advanced cases of melanoma) |
Gold or yellowish-brown color | Suspec bilirubin - usually due to liver damage and/or hepatitis |
Protein in Urine | Kidney disease |
Protein in Urine | Prolonged exercise |
Protein in Urine | Chemical poisoning |
Protein in Urine | Prolonged Exercies |
Hemoglobin in Urine | Kidney disease |
Hemoglobin in Urine | Severe burns |
Hemoglobin in Urine | Chemical poisoning |
Bilirubin in Urine | Liver disease |
Bilirubin in Urine | Obstructive Jaundice |
Glucose in Urine | Diabetes mellitus |
Leukocytes in Urine | Infection of the kidney |
Leukocytes in Urine | Infection of the urinary bladder |
Leukocytes in the Urine | Infection of the urethra |
Keytone bodies in the Urine | Diabetes mellitus |
Keytone bodies in the Urine | Starvation |
Not a CLIA waved test | Microscopic Analysis |
Chemical Anlysis | Using a plastic reagent strip, impregnated with chemicals. |
Chemical Analysis | Tests for hemoglobin, glucose, protein, keytones, WBC's, bilirubin, and PH can be performed |
Chemical Analysis | Reagent strips can have from 2-10 tests on them, depending on the need |
Part 3 of Urinalysis | Microscopic analysis |
Microscopic Analysis | Cellular material such as WBC's, RBC's and casts |
Microscopic Analysis | Bacteria |
Microscopic Anlysis | Trichomonas vaginalis (a parasite) |
Microscopic Analysis | Sperm |
Microscopic Analysis | Renal and epithelial cells |
Microscopic Analysis | Various crystals |
Microscopic Analysis | Yeast |
Cast | Protein |
Urine Collection | Random |
Urine Collection | First Morning |
Urine Collection | 24 hour |
Urine Collection | Mid-stream clean catch |
Urine Transportation | Should be transportated to lab within 1 hour of collection |
Mid-stream clean catch | Used for Urine C&S |
Urine C&S | Goes to microbiology |
24 hour urine collection | Measures kidney function |
First Morning | Most concentrated, good for things like pregnancy tests looking for HCG hormone |
CSF - Cerebrospinal Fluid | Done with a canula from a lumbar puncture |
CSF - Cerebrospinal Fluid | Meningitis |
CSF - Cerebrospinal Fluid | Encephalitis |
CSF - Cereboralspinal Fluid | Total protein |
CSF - Cereboralspinal Fluid | Glucose |
CSF - Cereboralspinal Fluid | Cell count |
CSF - Cereboralspina Fluid | Culture for microbial organisms |
CSF - Cereboralspinal Fluid | Cryptoccus neoformans (a yeast) and cryptoccan antigens |
CSF - Cerebrospinal Fluid | Shoul be at room temperature |
CSF - Cerebrospinal Fluid | Collected in 3 sterile tubes |
CSF - Cerebrospinal Fluid | Tube 1 goes to chemistry or serology |
CSF - Cerebrospinal Fluid | Tube 2 goes to Microbology |
CSF - Cereboralspinal Fluid | Tube goes to Cytology and/or microbology |
Fecal Specimens | Parasites, also called O&P or ova and parasites |
Fecal Specimens | Enteric disorders such as salmonella, shigella, and campylobacter pylori |
Fecal Specimens | Viral disease |
Fecal Specimens | Colo-rectal cancer (occult blood) |
Fecal Specimens | Should be transported immediately |
Fecal Specimens | Specimens should be a room temperature |
Seminal Fluid | Fertility Analysis |

Seminal Fluid | Should be transported to lab within 30 minutes |
Pericardial Fluid | Cancers |
Synovial Fluid | Crystals |
Pleural Fluid | Cancers |
Throat Cultures | Must stay moist in transport |
Throat Cultures | Usually for strep |
Throat Cultures | Microbiology |
Wound Cultures | Microbiology |
Urine Cultures | Microbiology |
Fecal Cultures | Microbiology |
Ear or Eye Cultures | Microbiology |
Skin Scrapings | Microbiology |
Normal fresh urine | 5.0 to 8.0 pH |
Protein or Albumin (proteinuria) | Can indicate renal disease or urinary tract infection (also called UT) |
Glucose (glycosuri or glucosuria) | Presence means the blood levels exceeds the renal threshold and is "spilling" into the urine |
Keytone (keytonuria) | Indicates that the body is metabolizing fats incompletely and is under severe stress (starvation, fasting, diabetes) |
Bilirubin | Byproductof hemoglobin breakdown in the liver, presence in the urine indicates liver damage, bile duct obstruction, hemolytic diseace of the newborn, alergic reactions (anaphylatic shock), or hepatitis |
Blood (hematria) | Can be caused by infection, trauma to the kidneys or other urinary organs, kidney stones causing damage |
Urobilinogen | This is a degradation podruct of bilirubin. It is elevated in cases of hepatic disease of hemolytic disease |
Nitrates | Indicates the presence of a "nitrate producing" bacteria - usually Eschericia coli |
Leukocyte Esterase (White Blood Cells) | Bacterial Infection (UTI) |
