In a procedure of this type, a decrease in specific gravity may indicate diabetes insipidus.
In a procedure of this type, the product of a reaction with ethanol, hydrochloric acid, and DMAB is measured using Ehrlich units. A symptom of Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia is a positive result for Bence-Jones proteins in a test of this kind. One of these assays produces false negatives for bacteria like enterococci or staphylococci, who cannot metabolize nitrates into nitrites. Another of these assays relies on the creation of benzoylecgonine in solutions of pH 7.0 or above. In increasing order of concern, these tests may turn up hyaline, RBC, or waxy casts. Because there is no test of this type for beta-hydroxybutyrate, a test of this type measuring acetoacetate must instead be used to measure (*) ketoacidosis. In a procedure of this type, a decrease in specific gravity may indicate diabetes insipidus. In perhaps the most widely-performed of these tests, the presence of hCG indicates pregnancy. For 10 points, identify these tests which can be carried out on plastic or paper ribbons known as dipsticks, designed to evaluate the content of an excreted liquid waste product.
