Free hemoglobin (Hb) in urine usually is the result of lysis of red blood cells present in the urine due to bleeding into the urinary tract (kidney, ureters, bladder). Less commonly, intravascular hemolysis (eg, transfusion reaction, hemolytic anemia, paroxysmal hemoglobinuria) may result in excretion of free Hb from blood into urine.
Injury to skeletal or cardiac muscle results in the release of myoglobin, which also is detected by this assay. Conditions associated with myoglobinuria include hereditary myoglobinuria, phosphorylase deficiency, sporadic myoglobinuria, exertional myoglobinuria in untrained individuals, crush syndrome, myocardial infarction, myoglobinuria of progressive muscle disease, and heat injury.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Free hemoglobin (Hb), in the presence of red blood cells (RBC), indicates bleeding into the urinary tract.
Free Hb, in the absence of RBC, is consistent with intravascular hemolysis.
Note: RBC may be missed if lysis occurred prior to analysis; the absence of RBC should be confirmed by examining a fresh specimen.
The test is equally sensitive to hemoglobin and to myoglobin. The presence of myoglobin may be confirmed by MYGLU / Myoglobin, Random, Urine.
Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Capoten (captopril) may reduce the test sensitivity.
Certain oxidizing contaminants, such as hypochlorite, may produce false-positive results.
Microbial peroxidase associated with urinary tract infection may cause a false-positive reaction.

The Clinitek Status+ analyzer is a reflectance spectrophotometer that analyzes the intensity and color of the light reflected from the reagent areas. No calculations are required.(Package insert: Multistix 10 SG Reagent Strip .AN30516J Siemens. Rev. 02/2011)
A microscopic examination is performed on urine sediments by conventional microscopy. All remaining urines have a manual microscopic examination performed on the sediment after centrifuging for 5 minutes at 1400 RPM.

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
