What are three substances normally found in blood but not in urine?
Red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets are typically present in blood but not normally found in urine.
Can you tell a blood type by a urine sample?
No, you cannot determine a person's blood type from a urine sample. Blood type is determined by antigens on the surface of red blood cells, which are not present in urine. To determine blood type, a blood sample is needed for testing.
Which two substances in the plasma are not in the urine of a healthy person?
Plasma proteins and red blood cells are not excreted in urine because they remain in the blood when it is filtered through the kidneys and into the ureters. They are too big to be filtered. Most other substances present in blood are also present in urine since the kidneys filter out poisonous substances as well as substances that are present in excess such as salt and water.
What disease does a person have if glucose is present in urine?

Why is there a WBC in urine?
The presence of white blood cells (WBCs) in urine may indicate an infection in the urinary tract or kidneys. WBCs are part of the body's immune response and are typically not present in urine unless there is inflammation or infection present.

What if epithelial cells in urine is 8-10 HPF?
The presence of 8-10 epithelial cells per high power field (HPF) in urine is considered within normal limits. Epithelial cells can be shed into the urine during the normal process of cell turnover in the urinary tract. However, if there are other abnormalities or symptoms present, further investigation may be warranted.
