macoduck Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Harold's recent in-house urinalysis came back with a protein of 500 mg/dl. How does that correspond to the 1+ or 2+ measurement I'm used to seeing?

TinyMityMo Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 In our laboratory 1+ is 30 mg/dL, 2+ is 100 mg/dL and 3+ is 500 (or more) mg/dL Quote Maureen, Sean, Molly (Garnett Madonna) and Sully (Starz Top Style) Visit LongDog Leather Works for adjustable leather martingales, wrap around leather tag bags, breakaway tag necklaces and cool leather people gear.

tbhounds Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 More importantly --what was his UPC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 More importantly --what was his UPC? Didn't get it. This morning I brought in a fresh urine catch and a letter describing Harold's predicament (see previous thread about Harold). It can be hard to catch the vets as this busy clinic so the clerk ordered a basic in-house test rather than the full urinalysis that would need to be sent out. pH was 6.0 LEU neg PRO 500mg/dl GLU neg KET neg BIL neg S.G. 1.014 sediment- WBC's : 4 hpf and cocci mild Harold is now on Clamavox. I am to check with the vet on Friday to see if we'll do a full workup and whether to continue the Clamavox. So he may have a mild infection. His urine was rather dilute this morning but then he'd had to go out twice during the night. Plus there was a big puddle of pee on pad on his bed.

tbhounds Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 You can still send the rest of the urine to the lab for a UPC. Glad they started him on Clavamox but, understand that without culturing the urine it might not be the appropriate antibiotic. Sure is a greyt place to start :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macoduck Posted September 10, 2012 Author Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) They'd already gotten rid of it. I'll see how Harold fares this week and then do another full urinalysis. Rather than run 2 threads on Harold, lets end this one and go over here: http://forum.greytalk.com/index.php/topic/290079-dealing-with-end-stage-kidney-failure/page__st__20 Edited September 10, 2012 by macoduck Quote Freshy (Droopys Fresh), NoAh the podenco orito, Rita the podenco maneta, Howie the portuguese podengo maneto Angels: Lila, the podenco, Mr X aka Denali, Lulu the podenco andaluz, Hada the podenco maneta, Georgie Girl (UMR Cordella), Charlie the iggy, Mazy (CBR Crazy Girl), Potato, my mystery ibizan girl, Allen (M's Pretty Boy), Percy (Fast But True), Mikey (Doray's Patuti), Pudge le mutt, Tessa the iggy, Possum (Apostle), Gracie (Dusty Lady), Harold (Slatex Harold), "Cousin" Simon our step-iggy, Little Dude the iggy ,Bandit (Bb Blue Jay), Niña the galgo, Wally (Allen Hogg), Thane (Pog Mo Thoine), Oliver (JJ Special Agent), Comet, & Rosie our original mutt.

Guest LindsaySF Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) When I first got Andy he had 3+ protein in his urine. We never did figure out why. They didn't have enough urine left for a UPC so I went back with another sample. I'll go check out your other thread too. Good luck.
