SALIVA & URINE

Question 1

OH1060

Answer 1

NORMAL HUMAN SALIVA

Question 2

OH2000 - pH

Answer 2

NORMAL HUMAN SALIVA – pH Treated

pH Treatment: Acidic and basic (alkaline) are two extremes that describe chemicals, just like hot and cold are two extremes that describe temperature. Mixing acids and bases (alkaline) can cancel out their extreme effects, much like mixing hot and cold water can even out the water temperature.

Question 3

OH2000

Answer 3

NORMAL HUMAN URINE, MALE:
Tested for acceptable ranges of analytes

Question 4

MSG5100

Answer 4

MASS SPECT GOLD HUMAN URINE, CATECHOLAMINE FREE

Catecholamine: A type of neurohormone (a chemical that is made by nerve cells and used to send signals to other cells). Catecholamines are important in stress responses. High levels cause high blood pressure which can lead to headaches, sweating, pounding of the heart, pain in the chest, and anxiety. Examples of catecholamines include dopamine, epinephrine (adrenaline), and norepinephrine (noradrenaline).

Makes sure these are at low levels:
Norepinephrine <2 μg/L
Epinephrine <1 μg/L
Dopamine <2 μg/L
Normetanephrine <4 μg/L
Metanephrine <4 μg/L
