Which of the following components of urine exist in the lowest amounts in a healthy patient?
  1. Water
  2. Urea
  3. Creatinine
  4. Albumin
Explanation
Answer - D - In a healthy patient, water and urea are present in the highest amount. Creatinine exists in a lower concentration then water and urea, but albumin is present in the lowest amount. Abnormal changes in urea, creatinine, and albumin can help providers determine a possible problem within the body. These tests are screening tests and are not specific to disease, but just point to some type of condition existing.
