The Effect of Urine Storage for 24 hours on Results of Urinary Leukocytes and Calcium Oxalate

Abstract

Urine examination is an examination often used and is most commonly done to help establish the diagnosis of a disease. The urine test consists of macroscopic, microscopic examination, and chemical examination of urine. Microscopic tests to look at erythrocytes, leukocytes, epithelial cells, thorax, bacteria, crystals, fungi and parasites. Objective: To determine the effect of urine storage for 24 hours on the results of urinary leukocytes and calcium oxalate in Binawan University staff. Method: This type of research uses primary data with a quantitative descriptive design with an analytical observation approach. This research data uses SPSS Software. This data processing is done descriptively. The tests used were the Kruskal-Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney Test Results: The frequency distribution of the description of fresh urine leukocyte results was the most 1-5 / LPB with a frequency of 26 people with a percentage of 86.7%. The distribution of the frequency of 24-hour delayed urine results was mostly 1-5 / LPB with a frequency of 29 people with a percentage of 96.7%. The distribution of fresh urine calcium oxalate was the most 1-5 / LPB with a frequency of 23 people with a percentage of 76.7%., and the frequency distribution of 24-hour delayed urine calcium oxalate results was at most 0 / LPB as many as 20 people with a percentage of 66.7%. Conclusion: In leukocyte examination, fresh urine calcium oxalate and delayed 24 hours obtained a p value of 0.00 and the results can be concluded that there is an effect of urine storage for 24 hours on the results of leukocytes and calcium oxalate urine.
