Isosthenuria is the inability of the kidney to alter the specific gravity of the glomerular filtrate. Such a urine sample would be associated with a specific gravity:
C) fixed at around 1.010
The colorimetric reagent strip test for protein is most sensitive towards:
B) Albumin
The first morning urine specimen is the optimum specimen for routine urinalysis because

On microscopic examination of a urinary sediment, round refractile globules are noted in cells encapsulated within a hyaline matrix. A polarized light microscopic exam of the urinary structure showed the globules to be birefringent in the shape of Maltese crosses. These urinary structures can be identified as:

D) glucose oxidase.
Select the best answer for the body in this image.
