Routine urinalysis consists of color, clarity specific gravity and a chemical examination including  pH, albumin, glucose, ketones, bile, leukocyte esterase, nitrite, and blood. Microscopic  examination, if indicated, includes cell identification, casts, crystals, bacteria, and miscellaneous.
In this webinar, we will emphasize on the correct urinalysis testing procedure and guidelines to  ensure correct patient results.

Key topics you will explore:

• Define the optimal storage time and temperature for urinalysis samples.
• Review the proper storage of and procedure for the use of urinalysis reagent strips.
• Describe the chemical reactions, quality control measures, and interpretation of results  for urinalysis reagent strip analytes including pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, blood, nitrites, urobilinogen, leukocyte esterase.
• Explain the proper techniques used during urinalysis reagent strip testing; ensuring accuracy.
• Identify conditions and/or substances that may interfere with urinalysis reagent strip testing.
• Identify the additional testing protocols used to confirm urinalysis reagent strip testing results.
• Summarize the analytical principles of measurement in urinalysis reagent strip instruments.
