Document Summary

Normal ranges for typical urinary values (mks 1a) Isosthenuria - urine osmolarity equivalent to plasma at 1. 012. Range of urine osm = ~40 mosm per 0. 001 unit of specific gravity. Sg of 1. 005 means urine osm is 50 mosm/l (max dilution) 1. 012 = 50 mosm + (0. 007 u * 40 mosm/0. 001 u) = 330 mosm. Always abnormal to have blood in the urine. Dr brandt: so like, a guy comes in, even if he has trace blood, you"re gonna ask him to come back in a month to repeat the test, k?" Presence indicates infection, inflammation or allergic reaction. Urobilinogen: 0. 2-1. 0 ehr u/dl (we can ignore this) Urine creatinine: 15-20 mg/kg per day in female, and 20-25 mg/kg / day in male. Normal urine sodium : 100 260 meq/24 hours (varies on intake) Normal urine potassium: 25 125 mmol / 24 hours (variable) Urine chloride: 100-250 mmol / 24 hours (variable) Remember that urine electrolytes don"t have normal values.
