If a Urine Sample is Distinctly Yellow in Color, Which

Question

If a urine sample is distinctly yellow in color, which of the following will be true?
A) Its pH is below normal.
B) It will have the odor of ammonia.
C) It will contain large amounts of urobilin.
D) It will contain excess chloride ion.
E) It will have a high pH.

Accepted Answer

The yellow color in urine is primarily due to the presence of urobilin, which is a breakdown product of bilirubin, a waste product produced during the breakdown of red blood cells. Therefore, if the urine is distinctly yellow, it will contain large amounts of urobilin. The other options are not necessarily true based on the color of the urine.
