100

The type of test used for pH on the urine dipstock 

What is double indicator test.

100
The normal amount of RBCs and WBCs, respectively. 
What is 0-4/HPF and 0-10/HPF
100

The definition of pyuria. 

What is increased WBCs in the urine.

200

The substance mostly responsible for the typical color of urine. 

What is Urochrome

200

The most indicative urinalysis test for renal disease.

What is protein

200

The type of cast that is always pathologic, and what it indicates. 

What is waxy casts and extreme urinary stasis. 

200

The term referencing proteinuria that only occurs when the patient is upright. 

What is orthostatic (postural) proteinuria

300

These are the three cell types of the juxtaglomerular apparatus. 

What is 

Juxtaglomerular

Mesangial Cells 

300

The urine color typically associated with pseudomonas infection. 

What is Blue-Green

The test principle behind the Clinitest.

What is copper reduction/Benedict's principle. 

300
The most notable conditions associated with RTEC in the urine.

What is tubular necrosis and renal graft rejection. 

300

Pre-renal proteins that may not be detected on the urine dipstick. (many acceptable answers)

What is

Hemoglobin

Myoglobin 

APR

Bence Jones Proteins

400

The hormone responsible for increasing the permeability of the distal convoluted tubule and collecting duct. 

Bonus if you can say when it would be released. 

What is Vasopressin (ADH)

Released when plasma water levels are decreased.

400

The condition associated with mousy smelling urine. 

What is phenylketonuria

400

The two types of renal proteinuria

What is glomerular and tubular

400

Added to urine to differentiate between RBCs and yeast. 

What is glacial acetic acid. 

400

The physiologic crystals found in alkaline urine. 

What is ammonium biurate, calcium carbonate. 

500

The substance measured in a clearance test, used to measure tubular secretion and renal blood flow. 


Bonus if you know why it is used.
