Q

true or false: glucose is normally seen in urine

A

false

17
Q

describe a clinitest

A

glucose oxidase oxidizes glucose and makes hydrogen peroxide and glycolic acid (purple color)

18
Q

what test confirms glucose in urine

A

clinitest

19
Q

what is the byproduct of lipid metabolism

A

ketones

20
Q

true or false: ketones are found in acidic urine
