Olfactory hallucination can be considered the result of the belief in an odor delusion, or the belief a result of the olfactory hallucination. [1] In one review, the individual with ORS was unreservedly convinced that he or she could detect the odor themselves in 22% of cases, whilst in 19% there was occasional or intermittent detection and in ...
Renal glycosuria is a rare condition in which the simple sugar glucose is excreted in the urine [1] despite normal or low blood glucose levels. With normal kidney (renal) function, glucose is excreted in the urine only when there are abnormally elevated levels of glucose in the blood.
In a study by Wise PM, [4] of 115 positively identified TMAU subjects, after a choline challenge load test (intentionally ingesting a TMA precursor) only 10% expressed a smell at a social distance. When in a fasted state (12 hours) 0% had a smell detectable at a social distance and only 5% had some minor malodour at an intimate distance.
Urine culture is quantitative and very reliable, but can take at least one day to obtain a result and it is expensive. [ 8 ] [ 14 ] Miniaturization of bacterial culture within dipstick format, Digital Dipstick, [ 15 ] allows bacterial detection, identification and quantification for bacteriuria within 10–12 hours at the point-of-care .
Glycosuria leads to excessive water loss into the urine with resultant dehydration, a process called osmotic diuresis. Alimentary glycosuria is a temporary condition, when a high amount of carbohydrate is taken, it is rapidly absorbed in some cases where a part of the stomach is surgically removed, the excessive glucose appears in urine ...
Hemoglobinuria is a condition in which the oxygen transport protein hemoglobin is found in abnormally high concentrations in the urine. [1] The condition is caused by excessive intravascular hemolysis , in which large numbers of red blood cells (RBCs) are destroyed, thereby releasing free hemoglobin into the plasma . [ 2 ]
