24357-6
LaboratoryUrinalysis macro (dipstick) panel - Urine
Definition
Depending upon the dipstick, the results for glucose, bilirubin, ketones and protein may be reported as an ordinal (present, absent or None, 1+, 2+, 3+,) or as a quantitative value (e.g. 25 mg/dL). The panel includes both versions to accommodate these two variations. However, one of each of the following four pairs must be included in the panel, so the required status is marked as "R-a" (Required with alternatives) to remind users that if one item in the pair is not included in the panel the other must be: 1) Glucose [Mass/volume], Glucose [Presence] 2) Bilirubin [Mass/volume], Bilirubin [Presence] 3) Ketones [Mass/volume], Ketones [Presence] 4) Protein [Mass/volume], Protein [Presence]
