Code Test Description * Indicates send out test   T760 Urinalysis   Specimen 5 ml urine   Method Manual or automated dipstick; specific gravity by refractometry and microscopic examination.   Schedule Daily   * S16735 Urinary Calculi Anaylsis—See Stone Analysis (Crystallographic)   T765 Urinary Fractional Excretion Ratios   Specimen 1 ml each urine and serum   Method See individual tests   Schedule Daily   Indication Assess urinary excretion of measured analytes.   Comments Fractional excretion of substance relative to creatinine.   T227 Urine Bile Acid   Specimen 1 ml urine   Method Colorimetric   Schedule 1–3 working days   Interpretive   Guidelines Elevated urinary bile acids indicate portosystemic shunt of hepatic dysfunction.   Comments Fasting is not required. Timing of sample collection in relationship to feeding is unimportant.   T770 Urine Cortisol/Creatinine Ratio   Specimen 1 ml urine   Method RIA/Jaffe   Schedule 1–2 working days   Indication Evaluates adrenocortical function.   Comments When UCCR is increased, an ACTH stimulation or LDDS test is needed to confirm hyperadrenocorticism.   T830C Urine Microalbumin (Canine)   Specimen 1 ml urine   Method Immunoturbidometric   Schedule 1–2 working days   Indication The most sensitive assay for the detection of early renal disease.   T830F Urine Microalbumin (Feline)   Specimen 1 ml urine   Method Immunoturbidometric   Schedule 1–2 working days   Indication The most sensitive assay for the detection of early renal disease.   T775 Urine Protein/Creatinine Ratio   Specimen 1 ml urine   Method Pyrogallol Red/Jaffe   Schedule 1–2 working days   Indication To assess proteinuria.   Interpretive   Guidelines An increase in protein/creatinine ratio, in the absense of an active urine sediment, indicates glomerular disease.   T310 Urine Uric Acid/Creatinine Ratio   Specimen 1 ml urine   Method Enzymatic/Jaffe   Schedule 1–2 working days   Indication Estimates urine uric acid excretion.   Comments measuring urine uric acid concentration on an aliquot of urine from a 24 hour collection is preferred for monitoring allopurinol therapy.
