Comprehensive Urine Analysis Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Urine samples were collected overnight (approximately 16 h) using a cage pan, once during the acclimation period, on days 31 and 59. Animals were not fasted prior to blood collection. The collected urine samples were centrifuged (1500 rpm, 5 min at room temperature) for urine chemistry and urine sediment analysis. Urinalysis parameters were measured by reading the scales on the urine collection tubes of Combur 10 TM urine sticks (Roche) and Cobas U411 urine analyzer (Roche) and then examined visually or under a microscope. These parameters included volume (VOL), color (COL)/clarity (CLA), pH, specific gravity (SG), bilirubin (BILU), protein (PRO), urobilinogen (UBG), nitrite (NIT), glucose (GLUU), erythrocytes (ERY), ketones (KETU), leukocytes (LEU), and urine sediments (urine cast, epithelial cells, white blood cells, and red blood cells). Urine potassium (UK), chloride (UCl), and sodium (Una) levels were measured using a Toshiba 2000FR NEO chemistry analyzer.

Before termination, urine was collected overnight using metabolic cages. Food was withdrawn, but water was supplied. Volume, color, clarity, pH, specific gravity, urobilinogen, bilirubin, protein, nitrite, glucose, ketone, and erythrocyte levels were analyzed with a Cobas U411 urine analyzer and Combur 10 urine sticks (Roche, Germany). Moreover, microscopic examination was conducted for epithelial cell, red blood cell, white blood cell, and urine cast.

Comprehensive Urinalysis in Animal Study

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Animals were fasted overnight prior to urine collection. Urine samples were collected with a clean cage pan on wet ice (first void in the morning of each collection day), and the total fresh urine volume (VOL) was recorded. Urine samples were collected in a urine specimen container and kept cool with wet ice before analysis. Urinalysis was performed using a COBAS U 411 urine analyzer (Roche, Germany) and Combur 10 TM urine stick (Roche, Germany) to determine the following parameters: color, specific gravity (SG), pH, urine total protein (UTP), urine glucose (UGLU), urine creatinine (UCRE), urine albumin (UALB), and urine protein to creatinine ratio (P/C). Urine potassium (U-K), urine chlorine (U-Cl), and urine sodium (U-Na) were measured using a Toshiba 200FR NEO chemistry analyzer (Toshiba Co., Japan).

Comprehensive Urinalysis Protocol for Animal Studies

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In the last week of observation, 5 animals/sex/dose were individually housed in metabolic cages. About 1 mL of fresh urine samples were taken for analysis. The urine was collected for 24 h to obtain the total urine volume for each animal. Urine test strips (Multistix 10SG, Siemens, Munchen, Germany) were dipped in approximately 0.3 mL samples of urine, and the following parameters were analyzed using an automatic analyzer (Clinitek Advantus, Siemens, Munchen, Germany): bilirubin (BIL), pH, nitrite (NIT), ketone body (KET), protein (PRO), occult blood (BLO), glucose (GLU), specific gravity, and urobilinogen (URO). Urine color was observed by naked eye in the animal room, and the results were manually input into the automatic analyzer (COBAS U411 Urine Analyzer; Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany). For the urine sediment test, the remaining urine sample after general examination was centrifuged at 33× g (Combi-514R; Hanil, Gimpo, Korea) for 5 min. The sediments were stained using Sternheimer-Malbin method, and the following parameters were evaluated using a microscope: WBC, epithelial cell, RBC counts, and cast.

Comprehensive Clinical Pathology Assessment

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Blood samples for clinical pathology assessment (hematology, clinical chemistry, and coagulation) were collected pre-test (Day −3) and, for one or more dose groups on Days 22, 55, 85, 106, 134, 160, 176, and 189. When possible, clinical pathology specimens were collected prior to unscheduled euthanasia for moribund animals. All clinical pathology blood samples were collected from a jugular vein. Standard hematological (Advia 120, Siemens, Germany), clinical chemistry (Cobas c 501, Roche, Switzerland), and coagulation parameters (ACL 8000, Beckman Coulter, USA) were analyzed. Urine analysis (Roche Cobas u 411 urine analyzer) and urine chemistry (Roche Cobas c 501 chemistry analyzer) were performed on urine specimens collected overnight pre-test and during Weeks 4, 13, 16 (Group 3 males only), 20 (Group 3 males only), 23, and 27. For the list of analytes evaluated see Supplementary Tables S2S6.

Urinary Biomarker Evaluation in Rats

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
On day 90, fresh urine was collected for 3 h from 5 rats of each sex per group in the fasting state, and a 21-h urine sample was subsequently collected while allowing access to food. Rats in metabolic cages (Biotoxtech, Cheongju, Republic of Korea) were allowed free access to water during both urine collection periods. The urine samples were stored at4°C until analysis was performed within 2 h of sample collection. The Combur10Test®M stick (Roche Diagnostics, Mannheim, Germany) was used to measure pH, protein, glucose, and occult blood, while urine chemistry was done with a Cobas u 411 urine analyzer (F. Hoffmann-La Roche, Basel, Swizerland). Urine color and turbidity were checked by visual inspection. The 24-h urine was used for measurement of the urine volume and specific gravity. The specific gravity was measured with a Gravimeter (VET 360, Reichert Technologies, New York, USA).

Comprehensive Urinalysis Protocol

Urine samples were collected at approximately 3–4 h within 1 week prior to necropsy. The following parameters were measured during urinalysis: color, clarity, glucose, pH, erythrocyte, specific gravity, ketone, bilirubin, leukocytes, protein, nitrite, and urobilinogen. All parameters except for urine color were analyzed using Combur 10 TM urine sticks (Roche, Germany) and a Cobas U411 urine analyzer (Roche, Germany).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
