Answers:
here is the breakdown for you:
blood= there should be no blood in urine if there is it can be caused by trauma or irritation.
bilirubin= product of the liver and if present can show liver damage or other liver problems
urobilinogen= similar to bilirubin also associated with liver
acetone= a product of sugar in the urine can show diabetes
protein= kidneys usually filter the protein from your urine if you have abnormal amounts in the urine it can show kidney problems
nitrite= can show infection of some sort in the urine
glucose= is sugar and shows your body is not processing the sugar properly and can indicate diabetes
Ph= is the acidity of your urine
leukocytes= are immature white blood cells, white blood cells are what fights infection
I hope this helps you its good for all of this to be negative
