Sypnosis : In this research, correlations between urine parameters is studied by finding patterns and statistical tests using SigmaStat 3.1 and flux variations using 0.95 mW He-Ne laser and Encircled Flux Analysis System (EFAS). Data obtained from statistical analysis shows correlations and consistencies with other researchers. These consistency are reflected from the correlations obtained between urine pH, age, urine specific gravity, urine protein and urine glucose.

Conversely, the inconsistencies of the results are shown between urine specific gravity and age and also between urine specific gravity and urine protein. The studies on urine parameters by flux variations exhibits significant patterns. Flux variations on age shows flux peak for males urine decreases from age range of 20-29 years to 70-79 years old but flux peak for females urine increases from age range of 20-29 years to 70-79 years old.

For total flux, males urine shows an increasing pattern from age range of 20-29 years to 70-79 years old but for females urine, total flux shows a decreasing pattern from age range of 20-29 years to 70-79 years old. Flux variations on urine pH exhibits flux peak for males increases from acidic to alkaline urine except for neutral urine.

Flux peak for females urine exhibits small differences between acidic urine and neutral urine but flux peak becomes lower when urine are more alkaline. Total flux for males urine exhibits the lowest for pH 7. Total flux shows increasing patterns for the alkaline urine (pH>7). For females urine, total flux shows close values for neutral and alkaline urine. Futhermore, flux variations on urine specific gravity (SG) for males urine specific gravity shows an increasing pattern when SG>1.02.

For females urine, flux peak drops when SG>1.025. Total flux for males urine increases when SG>1.025 and total flux for females urine exhibits only a little differences from SG 1 to 1.03. In addition, data obtained from flux variations on normal urine give the mean of flux peak for males urine are 177.996 counts and for females urine, the mean of flux peak are 182.278 counts. The mean of total flux for males and females urine are 1.064 μW and 1.076 μW respectively. Flux variations on urine glucose shows the mean of flux peak for males urine are 179.571 counts and for females urine are 179.306 counts.

The mean of total flux for males and females urine are 1.072 μW and 1.080 μW respectively. Finally, flux and urine protein exhibits the mean of flux peak for males urine are 183.191 counts and for females urine are 180.032 counts. The mean of total flux for males and females urine are 1.160 μW and 1.055 μW respectively. This research shows that using He-Ne laser and EFAS exhibited a good future prospect in urine research. Flux parameters such as flux peak and total flux, can become significant parameters for analysis of urine. Thus, leading the way as a vibrant diagnosis tool to clarify diseases according to range of flux levels of patients urines.
