- clear yellow = dehydration
- deep yellow = bilirubin
- dark brown, tea color = porphyria
- red = hemoglobinuria, myoglobinuria, rifampin, pyridium
- turbid white = pyuria, crystalluria, bacteruria |

- Trace to 1+ corresponds to 5,000 to 10,000 RBCs/ml (if truly positive)
- Positve dipstick RBC/HPF false +
- Negative microscopy despite positive dipstick indicates hemoglobinuria or myoglobinura or dehydration or exercise |

- presence means at least 4 wbc/hpf
- normal 0-2
- abnormal - investigate if person has infection
- w/ repetitive negative bacterial culture – may have chronic urethritis, prostatitis (90% due to autoimmune) |

- Normal = 40-80 mg
- >150 mg in 24 hrs = ABNORMAL (further eval)****
- > 3.5 g/24 hrs = NEPHROTIC RANGE ****
- once it is 800-1000 mg/24 hr, NEED TO REFER
- less than 800, just follow and make sure they're on ACE or ARB |

Diabetic nephropathy
- Macroalbuminuria (>300 mg), protein is detected on UA or dipstick + (at least 1+) |

if high, can be a GI bleed (don’t automatically assume dehydration)
o High – high protein, GI bleed, tissue trauma, steroids, reduction of circulating blood, tetracycline
o Low – malnutrition, liver disease, sickle cell anemia |
