Physical Examination

Physical Examination 



There following analysis in physics Examination.
  • Colour and appearance
  • Order
  • Volume
  • Reaction and ph
  • Specific Gravity

1.Colour and appearance

  • Normal urine is pale yellow colour and strow colour.
  • Abnormal urine is dark colour


2. Order



  • There is no smell in normal urine
  • Bacteria,Smell to Ammonia, sweety and fruity smell is present in abnormal urine

3. Volume

Normal Average 1200 to 1500ml/day 
  • Polyuria - Increase secretion of urine 2500ml/day
  • Oliguria - Decrease secretion of urine 500ml/day
  • Anuria - Absent secretion of urine

4. Reaction and ph

Normal urine is acidic and its ph is 4.6 to 6.9

Urine is acidic in the condition of eating high protein diet and acidic fruit and the condition of eating high vegetable and alkaline fruit contains alkaline urine.

5. Specific Gravity

Specific Gravity in normal urine is 1.003 to 1030

Procedure of Physical Examination

  1. Approves the color and appearance of urine. 
  2. Measure the volume of urine with the help of measuring cylinder.
  3. To test the reaction, put a drop of urine on blue litmus paper with the help of a pasteur pipette and note down the reaction.
Colour Change blue to red - Acetic Urine 

No colour Change - Alkaline
