Abstract

The kidneys play a vital role in maintaining normal blood volume, acid-base, and electrolyte balance. Urine is easy to collect via free catch, catheterization, or cystocentesis and provides a window into renal handling of electrolytes and water. Rather than comparing urine electrolyte measurements to a list of reference ranges, urine biochemistry is best interpreted by evaluation of an individual's renal response to a specific abnormality and determination of whether or not that response is appropriate. In this way, urine biochemistry may provide valuable insight into the underlying pathophysiology and renal response to a variety of electrolyte disorders.

尿电解质和渗透压。

肾脏在维持正常血容量、酸碱和电解质平衡方面起着至关重要的作用。尿液很容易通过自由捕获、导尿或膀胱穿刺收集，并为肾脏处理电解质和水提供了一个窗口。尿液生化不是将尿电解质测量值与参考范围进行比较，而是通过评估个体对特定异常的肾脏反应并确定该反应是否合适来最好地解释尿液生化。通过这种方式，尿液生化可以为了解潜在的病理生理学和肾脏对各种电解质紊乱的反应提供有价值的见解。
