I've been watching your videos for years, and just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. My go-to online resource for medicine related questions. Thank you!
Great video! I typically check the color of my urine in the toilet to make sure I’m hydrated enough, especially when preparing for a blood donation where the extra hydration helps my deep veins become more visible and helps prevent post donation dizziness making for a much smoother experience, but I never really thought about everything else being tested from urine samples on top of that and how they help doctors diagnose and treat patients experiencing problems, fascinating stuff!
Thank you for talking about ketones in relation to Hyperemesis. I was hospitalised with it during both of my pregnancies and remember doing lots of urine tests!

Hello Dr Gill. Firstly, I have to thank you for your videos. They provide invaluable education, as well as being very relaxing to a great many people around the world. If I may say so, however, I don't think your audio necessarily requires digital noise reduction (which sounds similar to Audacity's noise reduction algorithm). This takes away from the higher end frequencies in your voice in certain sections, which sometimes results in the audio being a little less crisp in certain places. Please know that I greatly admire your work, and I certainly do not know better than you on this matter. I'm merely voicing what I think may be the cause for a loss of clarity in certain sections of the audio. Thank you, again, for all of your content, and for your perpetually wonderful personality, that so very clearly shines through the polish of exceptional work.
When I was a baby, about two months old, I got a really bad UTI that spread to kidneys and caused a sepsis. I am geberally speaking healthy, but I have a painful bladder, incontinence issues and tendency for kidney pains and kidney stones.
Hello Dr! informative as always I'm wondering if you have upcoming clinical skills videos regarding migraines as someone who suffers from them regularly I would very interested to hear thoughts on this subject. thanks!
I have heart failure and liver failure so I take a number of tablets never had a problem with my urine smelling until 3 months ago and the smell was fowl. As I take Bumetinide I normally have a pee bottle that the hospital gave me for when I cant get to the toilet. I regularly have urine and blood tests for my diabetes which my levels were high but as I was seeing the nurse and not the dr I didnt mention the smell.
Is there any chance you could go over anything to do with the liver and testing. Recently uncovered that I’ve got some issues and I’d love to learn more about what it all means. Don’t trust google haha
I think we might be able to look at both. However one thing I’m concerned about is some of the more technical stuff doesn’t do well on the channel, which means a hit on the algorithm. If I could just bash them out fine, but each one - to make sure it passes muster takes about a week
@@DrJamesGill Appreciate the response. I'm not a content creator, so "satisfying" the algorithm wasn't on my mind, but your concern is more than reasonable. The things you guys need to balance out (algorithm, enough, but not too many ads, etc.) seems complicated.
you forget one thing about blood in the urine. especially in women. endometriosis. although I now understand the angry sermon I received from my GP because I had been suffering from pink urine for a while, although that always came and went away. yes I'm going to report something faster to my GP now, at least I'm going to do my best😅
Very true. Thankfully that it’s common Unfortunately the video was already 32 mins long, so I kept it to broad brush strokes But it does again move me towards needing that endometriosis video - I’m just a touch… disquieted about a chap electing to speak on a very specific woman’s issue when there are other things I could also talk about I’ve not quite made my decision yet
@@DrJamesGill It is not as rare as people first thought. and certainly something doctors should keep in mind when they have a woman in front of them. but maybe something to talk about in the endometriosis video. hint hint😉🤣
I think “rare” depends on how you classify things 10% of the population, about 7 million women HAVE endometriosis, With ~1.5million patients AFFECTED by endometriosis In a women of reproductive age, with no other symptoms who was found the have haematuria, I’m honestly not sure if endometriosis would be my first thought, as opposed to infection, trauma, or maybe even renal stone - with a similar 10~ prevalence on women Perhaps it’s something to consider in recurrent haematuria?
Somebody needs to drink more water. Military instilled in me that if my urine is yellow at all I am dehydrated and need to drink more water. And God forbid if it had a smell at all.

I’m glad you find them useful
Dr.James gill is to the medical world what James Gunn is to the marvel world. Very enjoyable

Urine, like looking at the hands, is a really useful and easy way of seeing what it going on in the. Ish
Thank you for talking about ketones in relation to Hyperemesis. I was hospitalised with it during both of my pregnancies and remember doing lots of urine tests!
Oh dear, I hope it was plain sailing otherwise?

I had a problem with the mic here. I wasn’t happy with the sound, but also couldn’t re-record.
Oh, I had completely forgotten you were colourblind - you made the colour matching look so effortless in the "ASMR" short!
YOU GUYS HAVE THE FOCUS DO THE DIPSTICKS? They just give it all to us in lab here, ha!
Great video Doc, very useful both as a patient and a nurse
When I was a baby, about two months old, I got a really bad UTI that spread to kidneys and caused a sepsis. I am geberally speaking healthy, but I have a painful bladder, incontinence issues and tendency for kidney pains and kidney stones.
Coincidentally, Urine Dip Stick is what I call my Mother-in-law.
🤫
If the doctor gasps after identifying the color, Urine trouble !
I'd never laugh at someone for color blindness -- my late father was color blind. It skipped over his sons, but I believe it affects our nephew...
great informative video again. Thanks Dr Gill.......btw what camera do you use. The quality is phenomenal
Sony A3

The urine test memes were REAL.

I've almost always bilirubin in my urine. But I also have Gilbert syndrome. My question is, can Gilbert give positive bilirubin in the urine?
Thank you Dr. Gill. How about a video discussing the WBC count?
Or ABGs 😵💫
Is there any chance you could go over anything to do with the liver and testing. Recently uncovered that I’ve got some issues and I’d love to learn more about what it all means. Don’t trust google haha
I would also like to see some liver content. I'm mostly interested in the enzymes, but would appreciate anything liver related.

Do you mean endometriosis of the bladder?
@@DrJamesGill yes, but on the ureter or on or around the kidney itself can also be a cause.

"HOWEVER"!!!!
Am I the only one with Tryptophobia who gets triggered by the tube with all the colored squares on it?
Somebody needs to drink more water. Military instilled in me that if my urine is yellow at all I am dehydrated and need to drink more water. And God forbid if it had a smell at all.
Perhaps, but you can also over hydrate, every year there is at least one marathon runner who gets into trouble with water intoxication
@@DrJamesGill apparently I hear that is why Bruce Lee died he drank to much water. His kidney's were unable to process that amount of water.
