Dear Friend,<\/p>\n
Do you ever wonder what urine is made of and why it is so important?<\/strong> However, urine is part of everyone: from the newborn child to the elderly; from the Oscar-winning actress to the lady who just opened a small shop down the street; from the schoolboy to the handsome man with the beard we see in commercials.,<\/em><\/p>\n So why not talk quietly about our urine? In the end, it’s simply urine, and it even sounds good as a name.<\/strong><\/p>\n Now what? If, however, you like us to talk about it directly in chat, feel free to contact me<\/a>!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Let’s get some clarity on our ideas of urine! <\/em>What do you say?<\/em> The urinary system comprises:<\/p>\n A ripple effect!<\/em><\/p>\n The function of the urinary system is very important because it allows the production and elimination of urine.<\/p>\n Yep, all connected right.<\/em>\ud83e\udd17<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But what about the urine?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Urine is the liquid waste solution produced by the kidneys: it accumulates in the urinary bladder and is excreted through the urethra.<\/strong><\/p>\n The kidneys constantly filter out waste, harmful and foreign substances in the blood and convert them into the urine.<\/p>\n Just think, a person typically produces 1.5 liters of urine per day!<\/strong> Under normal conditions, urine is composed mainly of:<\/p>\n And knowing all this, what good does it do me?<\/em>\ud83e\udd14<\/p>\n The composition of urine is crucial because it gives you information about different physiological and pathological processes occurring in the body.<\/strong><\/p>\n To get the best readings and advice on the health of your urine, always consult your doctor!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n What do you say we continue our conversation? Have you ever had someone tell you “you need to get a urine test”?<\/strong><\/p>\n I think you do because it happens to everyone over and over again!<\/em> Dearest, the urine test has incredible power because it allows you to evaluate many parameters that can tell you if any abnormalities or diseases are going on. \ud83d\ude2e<\/p>\n Thanks to this, you receive very useful information, especially if you suspect that you have urinary tract infections such as cystitis, suffer from kidney disease or have any kidney stones.<\/strong><\/p>\n What are the key indicators that can help me understand?<\/em><\/p>\n 1. Nitrites<\/em><\/strong> If your urine is described as “sterile<\/em>,” that’s good news because it means you currently have no bacteria and other microorganisms in your urine.\ud83e\udd70<\/p>\n 2.Leucocitis<\/em><\/strong> Normally, we have traces of Leukocytes (less than 5\/10 leukocytes per microliter of urine).<\/p>\n 3.Proteins<\/em><\/strong> 4.pH Urine<\/em><\/strong> Urine is considered “alkaline<\/em>” when the pH is greater than 7.0 (high values are often found in people who suffer from urinary tract infections). It is defined as “acidic pH<\/em>” when the value is lower than 5 (urine that is too acidic can promote kidney stones).<\/p>\n The optimal pH is “neutral<\/em><\/strong> “, when it oscillates around the numbers 6\/7 or never below 5 and never above 8.\ud83d\udc4d 5.Aspect<\/strong> 6.Color<\/em><\/strong> Cloudy, grey\/green urine indicate urinary tract infections<\/strong> or kidney stones, while red urine (hematuria) shows that we have blood in our urine and, again, could be a sign of bladder inflammation, urinary infections or kidney disease.<\/p>\n 7.Odour<\/em><\/strong> As you just read, urine speaks volumes about your health. \ud83d\udc97<\/strong> <\/p>\n Did you enjoy our talk?<\/em> I invite you to read our article to help you find the diagnosis for your tailor-made course <\/a>based on the values indicated by the urine test. \ud83d\ude18<\/p>\n A virtual hug and see you next time!<\/p>\n
\nI know, it’s not such a pleasant topic of conversation, and at times, we find it awkward.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nNow, all we have to do is start our chat!<\/em> \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\nBladder: Urine composition<\/h2>\n
\nSo, let’s tackle this topic “little X”, step by step.<\/em>\ud83d\udcaa<\/p>\n\n
\nIf you drink more fluids, of course, it will produce more urine.<\/em><\/p>\n\n
Bladder: Urine tests<\/h2>\n
\nI prefer to gossip with my friends too, but come on, it’s not that completely unpleasant of a topic.<\/em>\ud83c\udf3a<\/p>\n
\nQuietly, we make them and follow the directions received, but is our urine that interesting?<\/em><\/p>\n
\nBacteria often form nitrites,<\/strong> and their presence is a big clue to urinary tract infections<\/strong>. In your urine, there should be very little nitrite or none.<\/p>\n
\nAlso called white blood<\/strong> cells, they defend your body from attacks by viruses, bacteria, parasites, or other external factors.
\nIn most cases, a significant presence in the urine turns on the light for an ongoing inflammation<\/a> (including bladder infection).<\/p>\n
\nA highamount of protein in the urine<\/strong>, called proteinuria, often indicates a kidney-related problem<\/strong>. But their level can also rise temporarily after physical activity, following emotional stress or taking certain medications, during pregnancy or when you have a fever.<\/p>\n
\nThe pH scale varies from 0 to 14.<\/p>\n
\nThe value may depend on many factors, such as diet, kidney function, presence of cystitis or use of medications.<\/p>\n
\nThe appearance of urine when you are healthy should be clear.
\nUrine called “turbid<\/em>” is urine that, as soon as it is collected, has practically a “bad wax<\/em>“, is not clear and often indicates an incorrect functioning of the urinary system.<\/p>\n
\nNormally the color of urine resembles that of beer: clear and soft yellow, but it can also vary depending on what you eat, drink or what products you take in.\ud83d\udc4c<\/p>\n
\nIf your urine smells bad, there could be infections and inflammations<\/strong> going on that would affect your urinary system, but an unpleasant smell could also depend on poor hydration, the ingestion of specific foods (e.g. asparagus, cabbage) or some medications.<\/p>\n
\nTo receive a definite diagnosis, always rely on your doctor: don’t get excited right away.<\/em><\/p>\n
\nIf you wish to continue, you can write to me directly here.\ud83d\udc48<\/a><\/p>\n
