NORMA NORMAL NORMAL

L

-Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your

urinary system — your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most
infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the
URINALYSIS urethra.
(UTI)

FBS (FASTING -The high blood sugar from diabetes affects the nerves and over time
increases a person's risk for nerve damage.
BLOOD SUGAR)

TOTAL -Cholesterol is a waxy substance that's found in the fats (lipids) in

your blood. While your body needs cholesterol to continue building
CHOLESTEROL healthy cells, having high cholesterol can increase your risk of heart
COUNT disease.
When you have high cholesterol, you may develop fatty deposits in
your blood vessels.
Your heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs, which
increases the risk of a heart attack. Decreased blood flow to your
brain can cause a stroke.
TRIGLYCERIDE -Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. Your body uses
them for energy.

BUA (BLOOD - High blood concentrations of uric acid can lead to gout. The
chemical is associated with other medical conditions including
URIC ACID) diabetes and the formation of ammonium acid urate kidney stones.

CBC ( ANEMIA) -Anemia is usually defined as a decrease in amount of red blood cells
(RBCs) or the amount of hemoglobin in the blood.

LAB. EXAM. FOR: CAUSES

URINALYSIS (UTI)  Infection of the bladder (cystitis) caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the
gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Sexual intercourse may lead to cystitis, but you don't have to be sexually active to develop it. All
women are at risk of cystitis because of their anatomy — specifically, the short distance from the urethra to the anus and the
urethral opening to the bladder.

 Infection of the urethra (urethritis) GI bacteria spread from the anus to the urethra. Also, because the female urethra is close
to the vagina, sexually transmitted infections, such as herpes, gonorrhea and chlamydia, can cause urethritis.

FBS (FASTING  Type 1 diabetes (cause is unknown)

BLOOD SUGAR)
 Type 2 diabetes
(HIGH BLOOD -Environment (infection, diet, toxins, stress)
SUGAR) -Hereditary
 -Lifestyle changes in genetically susceptible persons
-Pregnancy

 Environmental factors
-obesity and dietary choices
TOTAL  Genetic contributions
CHOLESTEROL -additive effects of multiple genes
COUNT occasionally may be due to a single gene defect such as in the case of familial hypercholesterolaemia.

(HIGH)  Secondary causes:

- diabetes mellitus type 2
-obesity
-alcohol
-monoclonal gammopathy
- dialysis
- nephrotic syndrome
- hypothyroidism
-Cushing’s syndrome
-anorexia nervosa
-medications (thiazide diuretics, ciclosporin, glucocorticoids, beta blockers, retinoic acid)
TRIGLYCERIDE  High carbohydrate diet

 High fat diet

(HIGH)
 Idiopathic (constitutional)

 Obesity

 Diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance - it is one of the defined components of metabolic syndrome (along with central obesity,
hypertension, and hyperglycemia)

 Excess alcohol consumption

 renal failure, Nephrotic syndrome

 Genetic predisposition; some forms of familial hyperlipidemia such as familial combined hyperlipidemia i.e. Type II
hyperlipidemia

 Lipoprotein lipase deficiency - Deficiency of this water soluble enzyme, that hydrolyzes triglycerides in lipoproteins, leads to
elevated levels of triglycerides in the blood.

 Lysosomal acid lipase deficiency or Cholesteryl ester storage disease

 Certain medications e.g. isotretinoin, estrogen, hydrochlorothiazide diuretics, beta blockers, protease inhibitors

 Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid)

 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

 Glycogen storage disease type 1.

 Propofol
  HIV medications

 Generation of uric acid through purine metabolism

BUA (BLOOD URIC  Impaired excreation in the kidneys
ACID)  High levels of fructose in the diet
 Consumption of purine-rich diets
 Ingestion of high protein & fat
(HIGH)  Starvation (metabolizing its own muscle mass for energy)

 Impaired red blood cell (RBC) production

CBC( ANEMIA)  increased RBC destruction (hemolytic anemias)
 blood loss
(DECREASE  fluid overload (hypervolemia)
HEMOGLOBIN
LEVEL)
