Urine: The Divine Fluid and Its Diagnostic Values
www.ijppr.humanjournals.com
Keywords: Uroscopy; Urine Examination; Unani Medicine;
Mahiyatul Amraz; NIUM
ABSTRACT
Until the 17th
century, uroscopy was the prime diagnostic tool
used in laboratory medicine. Urine is the first body fluid which
studied scientifically. Even now a day's urine examination is
still the common diagnostic laboratory test for a range of
diseases with comparatively more reliability and concise
efficacy in addition to its cost-effectivity and simple procedure.
It is a non-invasive test, so it was always accepted by both
physicians and patients easily. During the journey of uroscopy
to urinalysis, a series of inventions and innovations were
adopted by the physician to improve the technique and
technology in urine examination; which are being
systematically summaries in this paper. Authors will try their
best to synchronize all those efforts, valuable inputs, and
instruments & techniques used down through medical history.

INTRODUCTION
Urine examination is of paramount importance in diagnosis since the beginning of organized
medicine. It was not only performed for the diagnosis of diseases rather for confirmation of
pregnancy and sex determination of the fetus too.1
Hippocrates (ancient father of clinical
nephrology)2
is credited as the original uroscopist but it is believed that it was practiced since
the pre-Hippocratic era.3,4,5
A paragraph on uroscopy has been written in the Hippocratic
treatise ‘Book of Prognostics.’1
Due to its diagnostic and prognostic value, urine was called
as “Divine fluid” and “a liquid window to the body and soul.”3,4,5
Middle ages (650 AD marks
for the emergence of ‘Islamic medicine’)6
physicians like Avicena, Ismail Jorjani, Razi, etc.
used the term boul, dalil (sign), and aab (water) for urine and tafsira (commentator on body
condition) for uroscopy.4,7
Historically uroscopy is referred as the first documented
laboratory test.4,8
The term uroscopy is derived from the Greek word “uroscopia" which
means a scientific examination of urine.3
This is the visual examination of urine for the
diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.9,10
As advancement in chemistry and physics,
uroscopy become urinalysis in the late 18th
and early 19th
centuries.5
Urinalysis is a more
comprehensive term used now a day for physical, chemical, and microscopic examination of
urine. The term analysis was introduced by Robert Boyle (1627-1691) for precise and exact
investigation.11
Hippocrates (460-377BC), described the uroscopy scientifically.8,12
According to him urine is a filtrate of four humours that is Blood, Phlegm Yellow Bile, and
Black Bile.3,12
Erasistratus (3rd
century BC), described that urine is formed in the kidney. The
filtration of urine first described by Lycus.6
Galen (129 – 200AD- The Father of
Experimental Medicine), redefined the Hippocratic hypothesis that urine is not a filtrate of
humours, rather it is a filtrate of blood.3
He described that the kidneys clear the blood.
Oribasius (326-403), Physician to Emperor Julian the Apostate, coined the term “ureter” and
conclude that kidneys absorb urine from the blood circulation.2,13
According to Avicenna
normal urine is lemon-yellow (utruji) in color which settles well and has a mild odor. He
describes eight diagnostic parameters of urine i.e., volume, color, density, transparency,
sediments, odor, froth, and taste and their clinical significances.7
Avicenna has mentioned the
difference between humans and animals urine. The difference between man and woman urine
has also been described by him. He used to warn his students that sometimes patients brought
other liquids or animal urine to test the skill of the physician. 1,7,8
By the valuable
contribution of various scholars uroscopy becomes urinalysis. For higher and better
specificity of urinalysis, physicians were always using the best equipment and technique

available in that era. A lot of scientific techniques and equipment had been used in this
journey of urine examination; some of them will be discussed in this article.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
The relevant information about uroscopy and urinalysis is collected from classical Unani
(Greece-Arabic-Indian) text, books of history of medicine, periodicals, journals & research
articles available on the internet. Search engine Google, Google Scholar, Google pdf has also
been used to extract the relevant references. The collected data has been analyzed and
arranged in a systematized manner as they were tested with time.
EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUE
Quaroorah

Quaroorah is an Arabic word that means flask. It was a container for the collection and
examination of the urine sample. It was made up of glass or Blur or Crystal (Blur is flint
glass).4,7,14,15
Avicenna (980 – 1037AD) in his famous medical treaties ‘Al-Qanoon Fit Tib’
(Cannon of Medicine) describes the method of collection of a urine sample for uroscopy and
also describe the factors which alter the character of the urine sample. He refers urine sample
taken in the morning is the best one for analysis.7
Persian physician, Ibn Abbas Majooshi
(930-994 AD) hypothesized that the yellow sediment found in urine is due to yellow bile
from the hepatobiliary system.8,14
Ismail Jurjani (1040 -1136AD), another Persian physician,
adamant that collecting the full amount of 24-hour urine sample should be stored in a bladder
shaped vessel and keeping it out of sunlight and heat to prevent possible change in color of
sample.8

437
Gilles de Corbeil (1165–1213) introduced Matula (Jorden) and wrote a poem on
uroscopy.16,17
It was the modified version of Quaroorah, used for uroscopy. Matula was also
a bladder shaped urine container made up of clear and thin glass.3,18
It was vertically divided
into 4 levels, where the uppermost denotes illness of the head, second levels for heart and
lungs, third level for the abdomen, and urogenital organs respectively.1
These divisions were
further subdivided into 11 and 24 boxes to denote the involved organ in each of the body
cavities more precisely.19
Joannes Actuarius (1275–1328) believed that out of four digestion
in the body, urine is the filtrate of third digestion. He described urine sediment on four
elements (fire, air, water, and earth) theory, fire and air are light elements that rose on the top
whereas the heaviest element earth sinks in the bottom. He also modified his Matula, which
was graduated into eleven segments,8
he explains the bubble on the surface of urine
represents abnormality of the head whereas sediment in the bottom represents ailments of the
lower extremity. Matula was to be held only in the right hand and it was the badge of honor
for physicians like the white apron and stethoscope does today.3
Physicians began carrying a
Matula on horsebacks as a professional trademark.17

The color of urine was always the vital criteria for urine examination. In ancient Babylon,
urine color was compared with other fluid-like paint, wine dregs, beer, or beet juice by
physiocrats for diagnostic purposes.13
Theophilos (7th
century AD) wrote the book ‘De
urinis’, the first known and exclusive book published on the subject of urine. He defines
urine as colamentum sanguinis. In this book, he describes 20 color shades of urine: albus,
lacteus, glaucus, charopos, subpallidiu, pallidus, subcitrinus, citrinus, subrufus, rufus,
subrubeus, rubeus, subrubicundus, rubicundus, inopos, kyanos, viridis, lividus niger, adustus,
and niger mortificatus.18
Each color was interpreted for different pathological conditions. An
Arab physician Isaac Israeli (832-932) authored the book 'Kitab al-Baul’ on the subject of
urine. He developed a portable chart of humoural and urine assessment and claimed it could
determine every known disease of that time.5
Avicenna describes different shades of five
colors (yellow, red, green, black, and white) of urine and their clinical significances. He also
describes the diet, drugs, regimen, and physiological conditions that mask the original color
of urine.7
In the late middle ages, physicians often carried a folded calendar that contains a
urine color chart along with necessary astrological information and other medical
references.20
The oldest urine glass disc reported dates back from 1400 AD. In 1491, the book
‘Fasciculus Medicinae’ published by Johannes de Ketham, mentioned a self-diagnostic color
wheel. This urine color wheel was large, circular, surrounded by 21 different colored urine-
filled Matula. The color and consistency of the test urine sample could be matched with the
color of Matula for diagnosis. Four small circles, one at each corner of the wheel contain a
description of the four-body temperament.21
This urine color wheel was based upon humoral
theory of diseases. The Color of urine is the reflection of an imbalance in the various humors
in the body. Urine color denotes the body temperament; hence the four temperaments
(choleric, melancholic, sanguineous, and phlegmatic) can easily be assessed by urine
examination.17
Using this urine color wheel patients could self-diagnose their disease. As a result of this in
the 16th
-century urine, examination become the most precise and final tool of diagnosis
among most of the physicians. It was so popular and rational that physicians start diagnosing
the disease only from the urine, without clinical examination. Urine becomes the dumb
messenger of the patient. However, Joannes Actuarius warned of the dangers of diagnosis
made through only urine examination.3
Thomas Brian strongly condemned the dumb
messenger technique of uroscopy. He declared urine is a harlot, or a liar and states “it was
fare better for the Physician to see his patient once than to view his urine twenty times”.8

Al-chemical (chemical) method of urine examination
It was Theophilus Protospatharius (7th
century) who first tries to analyze urine by heating it
and found proteinuria by a manifestation of cloudiness, it was claimed as the first
documented laboratory technique.8
,3
Anatomical furnace: It was human body shaped equipment, scaled on 24 levels.19
It was
designed by Leonhardt Thurneiser (1530-1595) for boiling the urine. By this technique, the
location of the patient's ailment was assumed based on fumes and spattering. 20,22
He also tries
to compare urine to a stream rushing down a mountain. He hypothesized that as the stream
picks up sand and dust particle and carries along with them, similarly urine caries information
from different parts of the body during its journey.20

Paracelsus (1493-1541) used vinegar to precipitate protein from urine,13
but he was unable to
interpret the finding with a disease condition. In 1694, Frederick Dekkers clarify this
laboratory finding with proteinuria.3,20,22
Actually this condition was explained by
Hippocrates dates back as the presence of a bubble on the surface of urine is a sign of kidney
disease and long illness. 2,20
Albuminuria in eclampsia of pregnancy was reported by John Lever in 1843. In 1815, Michel
Chevreul detects the presence of sugar (glucose) in diabetic urine.11
The study of urea and the
procedure for its isolation was developed by Antoine Francois Fourcroy (1755-1809) and
Nicholas Vauquelin (1763-1829), and in 1817 William Prout isolated pure urea from urine.
Prout also listed apparatus (a specific gravity bottle, litmus papers, turmeric paper, a blow-
pipe, and forceps together with two discs of glass plate) required for performing laboratory
tests on urine in the second edition of his book entitled ‘An Inquiry into the Nature and
Treatment of Diabetes, Calculus and the Affections of the Urinary Organs’ published in
1825.23,24
Later in 1882, Woldemar Von Schoeder devised a test for urea using bromine in chloroform.
In 1847, the presence of an unusual protein was described by Henry Bence Jones in a patient
with a fractured rib.11
In 1857, Wilhelm Petters and Adolf Kussmual noted acetone in urine.25
Reducing substances in some urine samples was quantitatively determined Hermann
Christian von Fehling (1812-1885). Max von Pettenkofer (1818-1901) detected bile salts in
urine. In 1831, Heinrich Rose developed the biuret test for albumin. Johann Jacob Bezelius
(1779-1848) described that normal urine is acidic with a specific gravity of 1.025 and
contains urea, phosphate, sodium chloride, and ammonium chloride. He also discovered few
elements such as cerium, selenium, thorium, and others. He described that albumin, fibrin,
blood, urates, oxalates, xanthine, cystine, sugar, bile and pus might be present in urine during
the disease condition.1
In the 19th
century, several other chemical substances like creatinine,
indicant, melanin, homogentisic acid, bilirubin, urobilin, urobilinogen, bile salt, etc. were also
detected in urine. Adolf Reinsch (1862-1916) devised a test for the detection of metal in the
urine. The spectroscopic analysis technique was developed by Gustav Kirchoff and Robert
Wilhelm Von Bunsen in 1859.11
PH of urine: The term titratable acidity was coined by Otto Folin in 1904 26
and the
titrimetric method to measure net excretion of acid/base was devised by K Jorgensen in
1957.27
Lovibond comparator was used for measurement of urine PH in the early 20th

century. The color comparison method to measure urine PH was developed by AB Hasting in
1925. Later on, an improved PH meter was developed by Arnold Beckman in 1934.
Handerson and Palmer describe the colorimetric method for urine PH determination. The
first colorimeter was probably designed by Houtou Labillardiere. In 1854, Joles Duboscq
devised an early colorimeter. The qualitative colorimetric method was devised by John
Thudichum in 1865, he also studies about urine pigment and haematin.11
1. Urinacidimeter: It was invented in 1933 by Enrico Cauchi for the evaluation of acidity
in urine. This urinacidimeter consists of a 30cm long and 1cm wide tube, which was closed at
one end and opened at another. It was divided into three sections, the first section for the
solution of water lime, the second one for phenolphthalein, and third for pure urine. This was
used to measure the acidity of urine expressed in grams of oxalic acid per liter.28
2. Down Brother’s test: This was also an instrument for the evaluation of urine acidity.
This instrument was provided by Down Brother’s, London; consist of a 30cm long and 1cm
wide vertical tube, which was closed at the bottom, and upper end with a glass cap. It was
divided into two parts, one 10cm for urine and the other for sodium hydroxide. Cauchi
reports that reading of this instrument was not accurate.28
3. Ruhemann’s Uricometer: Cauchi described Ruhemann’
s Uricometer as best to measure
the acidity of urine. It was consisting of a graduated test tube opened at one end and closed at
another. The lower end was indicated with "S" while the upper end with "Y". The space
between S and Y was divided into two halves .28
The reaction of Moritz Weisz: This reaction was used as a diagnostic and prognostic value
for tuberculosis (TB).28
Urine specific gravity test: The density of urine was one of the important parameters in
uroscopy. Avicenna pointed out the possible diagnostic value of urine density in the early
days. In the early 17th
century, Cardinal Nicolaus Cusanus (1401-1464) suggested the idea of
the clinical significance of the weighing of urine. He compares the weight of urine with the
weight of rainwater. However, some historian believes Jon Baptista Van Helmont (1579-
1644) relate the weight of urine to an equal amount of rain water’
s weight. The specific
gravity of normal urine is 1.025 described by Johann Jacob Bezelius.1
The urinometer was
introduced by Johann Florian Heller (1813-1871) in 1849. It was a thermometer shaped
mercury-based floating urinometer for ascertaining the specific gravity of urine. 19,24

442
Urine Test strips: The foundation stone of the strip test was led down by Avicenna, in the
case of jaundice he noted that urine stained the linen cloths.7,20
In 1914, J Cruikshank and J
Moyes applied nitrite test strip (Griess) to urine, this nitrite test strip was developed by
Johann Griess. Jules Maumene (1818 – 1898) impregnated a strip of merino wool with the
“tin protochloride” (stannous chlore) in 1850 to detect urine sugar. Nowadays "test strips" are
a widely used method. It is commercially available since 1950. A unique nylon mesh layer
technology was developed by Roches.11,27
Uromancy: Urine is the probably first and most scientifically examined body fluid and most
abused too.1
The study of urine for divination (fortune telling) was called uromancy,3,
and
practitioners were called as uromancers. In ancient Rome, urine drifted into the pot of
uromancers. Like physicians, they were also studied, swirled, and even tested urine to peek
into the future.5
After Johannes de Ketham’s self-diagnostic urine color wheel uroscopy
becomes easy. Leaches (unqualified medical practitioners) take the role of healers. There is
an interesting story that “to mask pregnancy, a woman mixed her urine with cow urine,
unfortunately, the Leche diagnosed that both she and her cow were pregnant”.3
In the 16th
and 17th
centuries, Uromancy flourish more. Every uromancers have their way of
explanation of results and relate them with destiny. A stylish physician depicted in Chaucer’s
Canterbury Tales traveling to town for on pony with his urine basket.8,16
Abuse of uroscopy
was also reflected in Shakespeare's play, Henry IV.1
Urine was also examined by to identify
pure evil.5
The physician who falsely pronounced results of urine examination was named as
lying oracle or piss prophets or pisse-mongers or water-caters or pisse-procrastinators.29
Thomas Brian strongly opposed the witchcraft of uroscopy. He published The Pisse-Prophet
or Certaine Pisse Pot Lectures, in 1637.16
In the Roman period, the proverb “Pecunia non olet" (money does not smell) was popular,
because of the monetary value of urine as gold. At that time urine collecting jars were placed
at public places for pedestrians to urinate, which was used in soap making due to detergent
property of ammonia in urine.30
In the Renaissance periods, Al-chemists tried to extract gold
from urine.8
Urine microscopy
The first sophisticated instrument used in urinalysis was a microscope. It is believed that
Pierre Borel (1620-1689) is the first user of microscopy in medicine. Collected evidence by

him in 1655 indicates that the compound microscope had been invented in 1590 by
Zaccharias Janssen.24
The microscope brings revolutionary improvement in medical science.
In 1666, uriniferous tubules were identified by Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694-father of
microscopic anatomy)2
by using a microscope. In 1840, RBC, Pus cells, a variety of crystals
were recognized- this was the early use of the microscope in clinical practice. Urine cytology
becomes a method of identification of malignant cells in various body fluids in 1853 when F.
Donald published The practical application of microscope in cancer. Cells of different parts
of the urinary tract were illustrated by Beale in 1854 and probably Lambl illustrates
malignant cells from carcinoma of the bladder in 1856.11
James Ewing identified malignant
cells coming from a carcinoma of the bladder in his urine.25
Leucocyte counting technique by
microscope was developed by J D Rant and W Shepherd. In 1881, rod-shaped bacteria in
urine were observed by William Roberts and the
first paper on observation of bacteria in fresh
urine was published by him.20
In 1840, bacteria were observed in urinary deposits but at that
time their clinical significance was unknown.11
In urinalysis usually, microscopic
examination is done to detect microorganisms and cytological findings.
Mass spectrometry
In 1859, Gustav Kirchoff and Robert Wilhelm Von Bunsen developed a spectroscopic analysis
technique. The instrument for mass spectroscopy was first developed by Joseph John
Thomson (1856-1940) and Francis Aston (1877-1945) in early 1900s.11
A paragraph on uroscopy has been written in Hippocratic treaties- ‘Book of Prognostics.1
Out
of 423, 37 Hippocrates aphorisms dealt with the renal problem.6
After a journey of rising and
fall for thousands of years, nephrology emerged in 1961.19
Today's scholar who deals with
the subject of urine is called as urologist or nephrologist.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion, it can be concluded that urine was always the vital subject of
interest for physicians due to its therapeutic importance. In every era, scientists were trying to
do more accurate and valuable urine examinations to diagnose the disease. The technique
used in the contemporary era is a result of the rigorous work of physicians for thousands of
years. Even now a day's urine examination and their diagnostic accuracy for various diseases
are in fashion because of its specificity and sensitivity in addition to its cost-effectivity and
easiest procedure. Basic information on urine examination, various tools, techniques, and

equipment used as a diagnostic tool all through medical history have been mentioned in this
article. But the extensive description of ancient theory (regarding urines diagnostic value) on
the latest scientific parameters is need of the time to cut the accelerating cost of diagnosis.

Urine: The Divine Fluid and Its Diagnostic Values www.ijppr.humanjournals.com Keywords: Uroscopy; Urine Examination; Unani Medicine; Mahiyatul Amraz; NIUM ABSTRACT Until the 17th century, uroscopy was the prime diagnostic tool used in laboratory medicine. Urine is the first body fluid which studied scientifically. Even now a day's urine examination is still the common diagnostic laboratory test for a range of diseases with comparatively more reliability and concise efficacy in addition to its cost-effectivity and simple procedure. It is a non-invasive test, so it was always accepted by both physicians and patients easily. During the journey of uroscopy to urinalysis, a series of inventions and innovations were adopted by the physician to improve the technique and technology in urine examination; which are being systematically summaries in this paper. Authors will try their best to synchronize all those efforts, valuable inputs, and instruments & techniques used down through medical history.

Ijppr.Human, 2020; Vol. 19 (2): 433-445. 434 INTRODUCTION Urine examination is of paramount importance in diagnosis since the beginning of organized medicine. It was not only performed for the diagnosis of diseases rather for confirmation of pregnancy and sex determination of the fetus too.1 Hippocrates (ancient father of clinical nephrology)2 is credited as the original uroscopist but it is believed that it was practiced since the pre-Hippocratic era.3,4,5 A paragraph on uroscopy has been written in the Hippocratic treatise ‘Book of Prognostics.’1 Due to its diagnostic and prognostic value, urine was called as “Divine fluid” and “a liquid window to the body and soul.”3,4,5 Middle ages (650 AD marks for the emergence of ‘Islamic medicine’)6 physicians like Avicena, Ismail Jorjani, Razi, etc. used the term boul, dalil (sign), and aab (water) for urine and tafsira (commentator on body condition) for uroscopy.4,7 Historically uroscopy is referred as the first documented laboratory test.4,8 The term uroscopy is derived from the Greek word “uroscopia" which means a scientific examination of urine.3 This is the visual examination of urine for the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.9,10 As advancement in chemistry and physics, uroscopy become urinalysis in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.5 Urinalysis is a more comprehensive term used now a day for physical, chemical, and microscopic examination of urine. The term analysis was introduced by Robert Boyle (1627-1691) for precise and exact investigation.11 Hippocrates (460-377BC), described the uroscopy scientifically.8,12 According to him urine is a filtrate of four humours that is Blood, Phlegm Yellow Bile, and Black Bile.3,12 Erasistratus (3rd century BC), described that urine is formed in the kidney. The filtration of urine first described by Lycus.6 Galen (129 – 200AD- The Father of Experimental Medicine), redefined the Hippocratic hypothesis that urine is not a filtrate of humours, rather it is a filtrate of blood.3 He described that the kidneys clear the blood. Oribasius (326-403), Physician to Emperor Julian the Apostate, coined the term “ureter” and conclude that kidneys absorb urine from the blood circulation.2,13 According to Avicenna normal urine is lemon-yellow (utruji) in color which settles well and has a mild odor. He describes eight diagnostic parameters of urine i.e., volume, color, density, transparency, sediments, odor, froth, and taste and their clinical significances.7 Avicenna has mentioned the difference between humans and animals urine. The difference between man and woman urine has also been described by him. He used to warn his students that sometimes patients brought other liquids or animal urine to test the skill of the physician. 1,7,8 By the valuable contribution of various scholars uroscopy becomes urinalysis. For higher and better specificity of urinalysis, physicians were always using the best equipment and technique

A lot of scientific techniques and equipment had been used in this journey of urine examination; some of them will be discussed in this article. MATERIAL AND METHODS The relevant information about uroscopy and urinalysis is collected from classical Unani (Greece-Arabic-Indian) text, books of history of medicine, periodicals, journals & research articles available on the internet. Search engine Google, Google Scholar, Google pdf has also been used to extract the relevant references. The collected data has been analyzed and arranged in a systematized manner as they were tested with time.

  • 175. www.ijppr.humanjournals.com Citation: Azizur Rahman et al. Ijppr.Human, 2020; Vol. 19 (2): 433-445. 436 Quaroorah is an Arabic word that means flask. It was a container for the collection and examination of the urine sample. It was made up of glass or Blur or Crystal (Blur is flint glass).4,7,14,15 Avicenna (980 – 1037AD) in his famous medical treaties ‘Al-Qanoon Fit Tib’ (Cannon of Medicine) describes the method of collection of a urine sample for uroscopy and also describe the factors which alter the character of the urine sample. He refers urine sample taken in the morning is the best one for analysis.7 Persian physician, Ibn Abbas Majooshi (930-994 AD) hypothesized that the yellow sediment found in urine is due to yellow bile from the hepatobiliary system.8,14 Ismail Jurjani (1040 -1136AD), another Persian physician, adamant that collecting the full amount of 24-hour urine sample should be stored in a bladder shaped vessel and keeping it out of sunlight and heat to prevent possible change in color of sample.8 Matula Figure No. 2: graduated Matula https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Woodcut_of_urine_flask._Wellcome_L0012935.jp g

Ijppr.Human, 2020; Vol. 19 (2): 433-445. 437 Gilles de Corbeil (1165–1213) introduced Matula (Jorden) and wrote a poem on uroscopy.16,17 It was the modified version of Quaroorah, used for uroscopy. Matula was also a bladder shaped urine container made up of clear and thin glass.3,18 It was vertically divided into 4 levels, where the uppermost denotes illness of the head, second levels for heart and lungs, third level for the abdomen, and urogenital organs respectively.1 These divisions were further subdivided into 11 and 24 boxes to denote the involved organ in each of the body cavities more precisely.19 Joannes Actuarius (1275–1328) believed that out of four digestion in the body, urine is the filtrate of third digestion. He described urine sediment on four elements (fire, air, water, and earth) theory, fire and air are light elements that rose on the top whereas the heaviest element earth sinks in the bottom. He also modified his Matula, which was graduated into eleven segments,8 he explains the bubble on the surface of urine represents abnormality of the head whereas sediment in the bottom represents ailments of the lower extremity. Matula was to be held only in the right hand and it was the badge of honor for physicians like the white apron and stethoscope does today.3 Physicians began carrying a Matula on horsebacks as a professional trademark.17 Color of Urine Figure No. 3: Johannes de Ketham’s self-diagnostic color wheel https://twitter.com/storiamedicina/status/1039140450718892032
  • 177. www.ijppr.humanjournals.com Citation: Azizur Rahman et al. Ijppr.Human, 2020; Vol. 19 (2): 433-445. 438 The color of urine was always the vital criteria for urine examination. In ancient Babylon, urine color was compared with other fluid-like paint, wine dregs, beer, or beet juice by physiocrats for diagnostic purposes.13 Theophilos (7th century AD) wrote the book ‘De urinis’, the first known and exclusive book published on the subject of urine. He defines urine as colamentum sanguinis. In this book, he describes 20 color shades of urine: albus, lacteus, glaucus, charopos, subpallidiu, pallidus, subcitrinus, citrinus, subrufus, rufus, subrubeus, rubeus, subrubicundus, rubicundus, inopos, kyanos, viridis, lividus niger, adustus, and niger mortificatus.18 Each color was interpreted for different pathological conditions. An Arab physician Isaac Israeli (832-932) authored the book 'Kitab al-Baul’ on the subject of urine. He developed a portable chart of humoural and urine assessment and claimed it could determine every known disease of that time.5 Avicenna describes different shades of five colors (yellow, red, green, black, and white) of urine and their clinical significances. He also describes the diet, drugs, regimen, and physiological conditions that mask the original color of urine.7 In the late middle ages, physicians often carried a folded calendar that contains a urine color chart along with necessary astrological information and other medical references.20 The oldest urine glass disc reported dates back from 1400 AD. In 1491, the book ‘Fasciculus Medicinae’ published by Johannes de Ketham, mentioned a self-diagnostic color wheel. This urine color wheel was large, circular, surrounded by 21 different colored urine- filled Matula. The color and consistency of the test urine sample could be matched with the color of Matula for diagnosis. Four small circles, one at each corner of the wheel contain a description of the four-body temperament.21 This urine color wheel was based upon humoral theory of diseases. The Color of urine is the reflection of an imbalance in the various humors in the body. Urine color denotes the body temperament; hence the four temperaments (choleric, melancholic, sanguineous, and phlegmatic) can easily be assessed by urine examination.17 Using this urine color wheel patients could self-diagnose their disease. As a result of this in the 16th -century urine, examination become the most precise and final tool of diagnosis among most of the physicians. It was so popular and rational that physicians start diagnosing the disease only from the urine, without clinical examination. Urine becomes the dumb messenger of the patient. However, Joannes Actuarius warned of the dangers of diagnosis made through only urine examination.3 Thomas Brian strongly condemned the dumb messenger technique of uroscopy. He declared urine is a harlot, or a liar and states “it was fare better for the Physician to see his patient once than to view his urine twenty times”.8

Ijppr.Human, 2020; Vol. 19 (2): 433-445. 439 Al-chemical (chemical) method of urine examination It was Theophilus Protospatharius (7th century) who first tries to analyze urine by heating it and found proteinuria by a manifestation of cloudiness, it was claimed as the first documented laboratory technique.8 ,3 Anatomical furnace: It was human body shaped equipment, scaled on 24 levels.19 It was designed by Leonhardt Thurneiser (1530-1595) for boiling the urine. By this technique, the location of the patient's ailment was assumed based on fumes and spattering. 20,22 He also tries to compare urine to a stream rushing down a mountain. He hypothesized that as the stream picks up sand and dust particle and carries along with them, similarly urine caries information from different parts of the body during its journey.20 Figure No. 4: Anatomical furnace (human body shaped) https://longstreet.typepad.com/thesciencebookstore/2013/02/finding-scientific-method-in- uroscopy-1577.html

Ijppr.Human, 2020; Vol. 19 (2): 433-445. 440 Paracelsus (1493-1541) used vinegar to precipitate protein from urine,13 but he was unable to interpret the finding with a disease condition. In 1694, Frederick Dekkers clarify this laboratory finding with proteinuria.3,20,22 Actually this condition was explained by Hippocrates dates back as the presence of a bubble on the surface of urine is a sign of kidney disease and long illness. 2,20 Albuminuria in eclampsia of pregnancy was reported by John Lever in 1843. In 1815, Michel Chevreul detects the presence of sugar (glucose) in diabetic urine.11 The study of urea and the procedure for its isolation was developed by Antoine Francois Fourcroy (1755-1809) and Nicholas Vauquelin (1763-1829), and in 1817 William Prout isolated pure urea from urine. Prout also listed apparatus (a specific gravity bottle, litmus papers, turmeric paper, a blow- pipe, and forceps together with two discs of glass plate) required for performing laboratory tests on urine in the second edition of his book entitled ‘An Inquiry into the Nature and Treatment of Diabetes, Calculus and the Affections of the Urinary Organs’ published in 1825.23,24 Later in 1882, Woldemar Von Schoeder devised a test for urea using bromine in chloroform. In 1847, the presence of an unusual protein was described by Henry Bence Jones in a patient with a fractured rib.11 In 1857, Wilhelm Petters and Adolf Kussmual noted acetone in urine.25 Reducing substances in some urine samples was quantitatively determined Hermann Christian von Fehling (1812-1885). Max von Pettenkofer (1818-1901) detected bile salts in urine. In 1831, Heinrich Rose developed the biuret test for albumin. Johann Jacob Bezelius (1779-1848) described that normal urine is acidic with a specific gravity of 1.025 and contains urea, phosphate, sodium chloride, and ammonium chloride. He also discovered few elements such as cerium, selenium, thorium, and others. He described that albumin, fibrin, blood, urates, oxalates, xanthine, cystine, sugar, bile and pus might be present in urine during the disease condition.1 In the 19th century, several other chemical substances like creatinine, indicant, melanin, homogentisic acid, bilirubin, urobilin, urobilinogen, bile salt, etc. were also detected in urine. Adolf Reinsch (1862-1916) devised a test for the detection of metal in the urine. The spectroscopic analysis technique was developed by Gustav Kirchoff and Robert Wilhelm Von Bunsen in 1859.11 PH of urine: The term titratable acidity was coined by Otto Folin in 1904 26 and the titrimetric method to measure net excretion of acid/base was devised by K Jorgensen in 1957.27 Lovibond comparator was used for measurement of urine PH in the early 20th

The color comparison method to measure urine PH was developed by AB Hasting in 1925. Later on, an improved PH meter was developed by Arnold Beckman in 1934. Handerson and Palmer describe the colorimetric method for urine PH determination. The first colorimeter was probably designed by Houtou Labillardiere. In 1854, Joles Duboscq devised an early colorimeter. The qualitative colorimetric method was devised by John Thudichum in 1865, he also studies about urine pigment and haematin.11 1. Urinacidimeter: It was invented in 1933 by Enrico Cauchi for the evaluation of acidity in urine. This urinacidimeter consists of a 30cm long and 1cm wide tube, which was closed at one end and opened at another. It was divided into three sections, the first section for the solution of water lime, the second one for phenolphthalein, and third for pure urine. This was used to measure the acidity of urine expressed in grams of oxalic acid per liter.28 2. Down Brother’s test: This was also an instrument for the evaluation of urine acidity. This instrument was provided by Down Brother’s, London; consist of a 30cm long and 1cm wide vertical tube, which was closed at the bottom, and upper end with a glass cap. It was divided into two parts, one 10cm for urine and the other for sodium hydroxide. Cauchi reports that reading of this instrument was not accurate.28 3. Ruhemann’s Uricometer: Cauchi described Ruhemann’ s Uricometer as best to measure the acidity of urine. It was consisting of a graduated test tube opened at one end and closed at another. The lower end was indicated with "S" while the upper end with "Y". The space between S and Y was divided into two halves .28 The reaction of Moritz Weisz: This reaction was used as a diagnostic and prognostic value for tuberculosis (TB).28 Urine specific gravity test: The density of urine was one of the important parameters in uroscopy. Avicenna pointed out the possible diagnostic value of urine density in the early days. In the early 17th century, Cardinal Nicolaus Cusanus (1401-1464) suggested the idea of the clinical significance of the weighing of urine. He compares the weight of urine with the weight of rainwater. However, some historian believes Jon Baptista Van Helmont (1579- 1644) relate the weight of urine to an equal amount of rain water’ s weight. The specific gravity of normal urine is 1.025 described by Johann Jacob Bezelius.1 The urinometer was introduced by Johann Florian Heller (1813-1871) in 1849. It was a thermometer shaped mercury-based floating urinometer for ascertaining the specific gravity of urine. 19,24

Ijppr.Human, 2020; Vol. 19 (2): 433-445. 442 Urine Test strips: The foundation stone of the strip test was led down by Avicenna, in the case of jaundice he noted that urine stained the linen cloths.7,20 In 1914, J Cruikshank and J Moyes applied nitrite test strip (Griess) to urine, this nitrite test strip was developed by Johann Griess. Jules Maumene (1818 – 1898) impregnated a strip of merino wool with the “tin protochloride” (stannous chlore) in 1850 to detect urine sugar. Nowadays "test strips" are a widely used method. It is commercially available since 1950. A unique nylon mesh layer technology was developed by Roches.11,27 Uromancy: Urine is the probably first and most scientifically examined body fluid and most abused too.1 The study of urine for divination (fortune telling) was called uromancy,3, and practitioners were called as uromancers. In ancient Rome, urine drifted into the pot of uromancers. Like physicians, they were also studied, swirled, and even tested urine to peek into the future.5 After Johannes de Ketham’s self-diagnostic urine color wheel uroscopy becomes easy. Leaches (unqualified medical practitioners) take the role of healers. There is an interesting story that “to mask pregnancy, a woman mixed her urine with cow urine, unfortunately, the Leche diagnosed that both she and her cow were pregnant”.3 In the 16th and 17th centuries, Uromancy flourish more. Every uromancers have their way of explanation of results and relate them with destiny. A stylish physician depicted in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales traveling to town for on pony with his urine basket.8,16 Abuse of uroscopy was also reflected in Shakespeare's play, Henry IV.1 Urine was also examined by to identify pure evil.5 The physician who falsely pronounced results of urine examination was named as lying oracle or piss prophets or pisse-mongers or water-caters or pisse-procrastinators.29 Thomas Brian strongly opposed the witchcraft of uroscopy. He published The Pisse-Prophet or Certaine Pisse Pot Lectures, in 1637.16 In the Roman period, the proverb “Pecunia non olet" (money does not smell) was popular, because of the monetary value of urine as gold. At that time urine collecting jars were placed at public places for pedestrians to urinate, which was used in soap making due to detergent property of ammonia in urine.30 In the Renaissance periods, Al-chemists tried to extract gold from urine.8 Urine microscopy The first sophisticated instrument used in urinalysis was a microscope. It is believed that Pierre Borel (1620-1689) is the first user of microscopy in medicine. Collected evidence by

Ijppr.Human, 2020; Vol. 19 (2): 433-445. 443 him in 1655 indicates that the compound microscope had been invented in 1590 by Zaccharias Janssen.24 The microscope brings revolutionary improvement in medical science. In 1666, uriniferous tubules were identified by Marcello Malpighi (1628-1694-father of microscopic anatomy)2 by using a microscope. In 1840, RBC, Pus cells, a variety of crystals were recognized- this was the early use of the microscope in clinical practice. Urine cytology becomes a method of identification of malignant cells in various body fluids in 1853 when F. Donald published The practical application of microscope in cancer. Cells of different parts of the urinary tract were illustrated by Beale in 1854 and probably Lambl illustrates malignant cells from carcinoma of the bladder in 1856.11 James Ewing identified malignant cells coming from a carcinoma of the bladder in his urine.25 Leucocyte counting technique by microscope was developed by J D Rant and W Shepherd. In 1881, rod-shaped bacteria in urine were observed by William Roberts and the first paper on observation of bacteria in fresh urine was published by him.20 In 1840, bacteria were observed in urinary deposits but at that time their clinical significance was unknown.11 In urinalysis usually, microscopic examination is done to detect microorganisms and cytological findings. Mass spectrometry In 1859, Gustav Kirchoff and Robert Wilhelm Von Bunsen developed a spectroscopic analysis technique. The instrument for mass spectroscopy was first developed by Joseph John Thomson (1856-1940) and Francis Aston (1877-1945) in early 1900s.11 A paragraph on uroscopy has been written in Hippocratic treaties- ‘Book of Prognostics.1 Out of 423, 37 Hippocrates aphorisms dealt with the renal problem.6 After a journey of rising and fall for thousands of years, nephrology emerged in 1961.19 Today's scholar who deals with the subject of urine is called as urologist or nephrologist. CONCLUSION From the above discussion, it can be concluded that urine was always the vital subject of interest for physicians due to its therapeutic importance. In every era, scientists were trying to do more accurate and valuable urine examinations to diagnose the disease. The technique used in the contemporary era is a result of the rigorous work of physicians for thousands of years. Even now a day's urine examination and their diagnostic accuracy for various diseases are in fashion because of its specificity and sensitivity in addition to its cost-effectivity and easiest procedure. Basic information on urine examination, various tools, techniques, and

But the extensive description of ancient theory (regarding urines diagnostic value) on the latest scientific parameters is need of the time to cut the accelerating cost of diagnosis.
