Ocular lens
We identify this organism with the Wet Mount by it's jerky movements and is a common STD
Trichomonas Vaginalis

12 dips or 8 hours
Bilirubin present in urine can indicate what condition.
Liver Disease
This is what you need to do if you cannot run a UA within it's normal time frame.
Refrigerate it
This supports the microscope
Base
The ideal amount of urine required to test on.
50 ml (but no less than 25ml)
This test is used to determine the amount of dissolved substances in urine.
Specific Gravity
This is the confirmatory test for Bilirubin.
Ictotest
These are a few abnormal odors of urine and what might cause them.
Foul = Infection
Musty = PKU
Sweet/Fruity = Acetone, ketones, sugars
This intensifies the light through the slide.
Condensor
A Dark, Cloudy urine could indicate...
Highly concentrated urine with solids in it
This is why is the conicle tube of a Chek-Stix covered in foil.
To protect from light so it doesn't affect the bilirubin.
A small amount of which protein may be seen in one with diabetes, hypertension, stroke, MI, and/or pregnancy.
Albumin
The ideal specimen fro a drug screen test. (not usually done anymore)
CCMS
These are the 3 powers used on a microscope.
Low = 10
High = 45
Oil Immersion = 100
These are the functioning unit of the kidneys.

First Morning
A test that helps to evaluate the kidney's ability to concentrate the urine.
Specific Gravity
5 elements that can cause a urine to be turbid.
Bacteria

Mucous
Crystals
This is used to rotate the objective lenses.
