Excessive urine output during night time
NOCTURIA
A faint cloud or mucus, WBCs, epithelial cells, bacteria, & alkaline

NUBUCELA
Indicator for acid reaction
METHYL RED
alkaline reaction
bromthymol blue.
Urobilin
orange-brown/red pigmen
Uroerythrin
pink/red pigment

Phenylketonuria
produces a rancid odor.
Tyrosinuria
causes urine to smell like cabbage or hops.
Methionine malabsorption
makes urine smell like a rotting fish.
○ Trimethylaminuria
- urine with specific gravity above 1.010
● Hypersthenuric
based on the principle that the frequency of sound wave
entering a solution changes in proportion to the density of the
solution.
. Harmonic oscillation densitometry
Consist of a weighted float attached to a scale that has been
calibrated in terms of urine specific gravity
