MCHC=Hgb/Hct x 100
Acidic urine specimens are frequently seen in.....
High protein diet
A 7 year old boy showed up in a hospital ER with dark colored urine. The dip stick shows a
large amount of blood and moderate protein. 14 days ago he had a sore throat and fever. A
throat swab is cultured and returns positive for group A beta hemolytic strep. A urine
culture will most likely be:
Negative
Anti-A 4
Anti-B 4
A-cells 2
B-cells 2
What would you do next?
Incubate reagents and specimen at RT for 15-30 minutes and repeat the test
