Ureaplasma, Culture & Sensitivity
Test Code: 9952 |

Special Requirements: Not Applicable |
Clinical Significance: U parvum is usually the commonest species detected in various clinical specimens but U urealyticum is probably more pathogenic in conditions such as male urethritis. In humans,
both Mycoplasma and Ureaplasma species may be transmitted by direct contact; venereally through genital-to-genital or oral-to-genital contact, vertically from mother to offspring either at birth or in utero, or by nosocomial acquisition through transplanted tissues. U urealyticum and M genitalium are causes of non-chlamydial non-gonococcal urethritis in men.

Uric Acid, 24 Hrs, Urine
Test Code: 16320 |
CPT Code: 84560 |
Specimen Type: 24 hrs urine |
Sample Volume: 5 mL |
Transport Condition: Refrigerated condition |
Specimen Rejection Criteria: Nil |
Methodology: Spectrophotometry |
Special Requirements: 24 hrs urine with 5% sodium hydroxide. Mention 24 hrs urine volume. |
Clinical Significance: Uric acid is the end-product of purine metabolism. It is freely filtered by the glomeruli and most is reabsorbed by the tubules.There is also active tubular secretion. Urine uric acid levels reflect the amount of dietary purines and also endogenous nucleic acid breakdown. This assay aids in assessment and management of patients with kidney stones, particularly uric acid stones.

Uric Acid, Random, Urine
Test Code: 319 |
CPT Code: 84560 |
Specimen Type: Urine in sterile leak proof container |
Sample Volume: 10 mL |
Transport Condition: Room temperature |
Specimen Rejection Criteria: NA |
Methodology: Spectrophotometry |
Special Requirements: No special precautions needed |
Clinical Significance: Urine uric acid may supplement serum uric acid testing in investigating conditions in which there is alteration of uricacid production or excretion eg., gout, leukemia, renal diseases. The information about amount of uric acid excreted may be useful in treating asymptomatic hyperuricemia. Measurement of urine uric acid is important in the investigation of urolithiasis.

Uric Acid, Serum
Test Code: 1095 |
CPT Code: 84550 |
Specimen Type: Serum collected in a yellow-top tube |
Sample Volume: 3.0 mL (1.0mL - min) |
Transport Condition: Refrigerated condition |
Specimen Rejection Criteria: Gross hemolysis |
Methodology: Spectrophotometry |
Special Requirements: No special precautions needed |
Clinical Significance: Serum uric acid measurements are useful in the diagnosis and treatment of numerous renal and metabolic disorders, including renal failure, gout, leukemia, psoriasis, starvation/ other wasting conditions, and in-patients receiving cytotoxic drugs.

Urinary Protein Creatinine Ratio (UPCR), Spot Urine
Test Code: 6140 |
CPT Code: Use individual CPTCodes |
Specimen Type: Spot urine |
Sample Volume: 3.0 mL |
Transport Condition: Room temperature |
Specimen Rejection Criteria: Not Applicable |
Methodology: Electrophoresis |
Special Requirements: No special precautions needed |
Clinical Significance: Persistently increased protein excretion is usually a marker of kidney damage. Quantifying protein in urine is commonly used in the diagnosis of kidney diseases, detection of treatment effects and evaluation of prognosis.
Urinary protein creatinine ratio in spot urine (UPCR) can be used as an alternative to urine protein excretion in 24 hrs collections. UPCR in first morning urine samples is better than that in random specimens, especially for outpatients.
