The urine dipstick is one of the most common tests you run, but every pad has its own rules and sources of error. Anneka Pierzga explains what each reagent pad tests for and what the results might mean for your patient.
Includes the full recording (1 hour 12 minutes), the presentation slides as a PDF, and a quiz. Pass the quiz to receive a certificate worth 1 AVNAT point.
A dipstick result is only as good as the technique behind it. Part 2 of Urine the Know helps you run the test correctly and read each result with confidence.
You’ll review the three parts of a complete urinalysis, laboratory safety, and the collection methods: free catch, bladder expression, catheterisation and cystocentesis. You’ll then learn how to perform a reagent strip test correctly, from mixing the sample and saturating and draining the pads to reading each pad at the right time and storing the strips properly.
The rest of the webinar works through each pad in turn: pH, protein, glucose, ketones, bile pigments (bilirubin and urobilinogen), blood and leukocytes. For each one you’ll learn what it detects, common causes of a positive result such as diabetes mellitus, Fanconi syndrome, intravascular haemolysis and muscle damage, and the sources of false positive and false negative results.
