The biochemical composition of urine gives an idea of ​​the process of exchange, the state of the bladder, kidney, and the body as a whole.

In drawing up the clinical picture of human disease, a urine test gives an indication of the effectiveness of the prescribed therapy. Color of the urine gives urochrome pigment. Normally, urine should be light to dark amber. But much depends on how it is diluted or concentrated.

Medicines, vitamins, products are able to influence the change of color, unusual color is often indicative of the disease, the presence of infections. On the color sometimes affects the time of day, in the evening the urine may acquire a brown shade.

7. Venereal diseases. Infections, sexually transmitted infections that affect the liver, causing dark urine.
8. sickle cell anemia. Inherited genetic abnormality in hemoglobin structure, in which the red blood cells become sickle-shaped. In this disease, the color becomes red-brown when the disease affects the kidneys.
9. Pancreas cancer. One of the primary characteristics is dark urine, almost black.
10. rhabdomyolysis. This is a medical emergency due to damage to the muscles, leading to kidney failure. Other symptoms observed urine brown.
11. endometriosis. Growing yeast infections are symptom muddy urine.

• foaminess as indicator composition changes occur when increased amounts of protein.

2. Biometrics:

• protein, which may increase after exercise, exercise, or indicate which began malignancy;
• sugar, the amount indicates the development of hyperthyroidism, diabetes mellitus, stroke;
• bilirubin, bile pigment that urine stains dark-yellow in color;
• ketone bodies, which are products of metabolism, indicate the violation of lipid or carbohydrate metabolism.

3. The chemical and physical characteristics:

• density, determined by the presence of salts, urea;
• acidity rate 5-6rN;

4. Microscopic characteristics:

• cylinders, the generalized name of protein compounds;
• bacteria present in the case of acute inflammatory processes;
• blood cells, increased number of white blood cells indicates violations of the kidney, bladder;
• fungal, figures appear in immunodeficiency, normally they should not be;
• salt, an increased amount of evidence of violations of the urinary system.

• amplipulse therapy, method of influencing modular sinusoidal currents to the affected areas.

Cystitis shows procedures:

• UHF-therapy;
• paraffin;
• sodium or chloride bath with running water;
• an infrared irradiation lamp.

kidney disease, polycystic addition, hydronephrosis, acute pyelonephritis, can be treated with physical treatments:
