____-test will detect 5-10 mg of acetoacetic acid per
deciliter of urine and 20-25 mg acetone per deciliter of
urine.
Acetest
_______ ferric chloride test measures acetoacetic acid.
However, ferric chloride methods are not very specific
and the sensitivity is low, about 25-50 mg/dL.

What helps distinguish
myoglobinuria from hemoglobinuria?
The serum measurements and history
Comment on serum in the setting of myoglobinuria

_____ is a breakdown product of hemoglobin that is
formed in the reticuloendothelial cells of the spleen,
liver, and bone marrow.
