Lab ranges
15 entries
24-hour urine protein — lab reference
Collection completeness must be assessed.
Blood/hemoglobin, urine — lab reference
Ask your clinician to confirm with microscopy; exercise, menstruation, myoglobin, and hemolysis may interfere.
Glucose, urine — lab reference
Renal threshold, SGLT2 inhibitors, pregnancy, and hyperglycemia matter.
Hyaline casts — lab reference
Small numbers may be nonspecific; other cast types require context.
Ketones, urine — lab reference
Fasting, ketogenic diet, vomiting, and diabetes context matter.
Leukocyte esterase — lab reference
Ask your clinician to read this result with microscopy, symptoms, nitrite, and culture.
Nitrite — lab reference
A negative result does not exclude UTI.
Protein, dipstick — lab reference
Dipstick is albumin-biased. Ask your clinician to confirm persistent findings with quantitative ratio.
RBC, microscopy — lab reference
Persistent microscopic hematuria requires risk-based evaluation.
Specific gravity — lab reference
Hydration and concentrating ability affect result.
Urine albumin/creatinine ratio — lab reference
A1 <30; A2 30-300; A3 >300. Persistence ≥3 months matters for CKD classification.
Urine appearance — lab reference
Color and clarity are nonspecific; review medications, hydration, and sediment.
Urine pH — lab reference
Diet, infection, medications, and specimen age affect result.
Urine protein/creatinine ratio — lab reference
Ask your clinician to use laboratory and indication-specific thresholds; consider timed collection when needed.
WBC, microscopy — lab reference
Ask your clinician to read this result with symptoms, culture, contamination, and other sediment findings.
About these ranges
These are Dr. Purser’s adult reference ranges. Units, symptoms and health history matter when you discuss a result with your clinician.
