Monitoring Urine
Workshop led by Alessandro Volpato

Undersanding our health status is easy, thanks to well designed 
equipment, extensive public documentation and collaboration with 
medical staff. This workshop is about checking biomarkers in own urine, 
which are measurable indicators of a biological state.

First, every participant will check 10 parameters of their own urine 
with test strips. The parameters to test will be: proteins, glucose, 
ketones, haemoglobin, bilirubin, urobilinogen, acetone, nitrite, 
leucocytes and pH. We will analyze the values and understand what is 
their meaning. In the second part, participants will learn how to test 
the OD (optical density) of urine with a DIY photometer.
