Review the following urinalysis results on a patient: Chemical Exam Strip Microscopic Exam SG = 1.020 5-10 WBC/hpf pH = 8.5 2-5 hyaline casts/lpf Blood = neg Many Uric Acid crystals/hpf Protein = neg LE = neg Nitrite = neg Glucose = neg Ketones = neg Bilirubin = neg  Ascorbic Acid = pos The chemical reagent strip does not seem to support the microscopic finding of WBCs. Explain the most likely explanation for this discrepancy (1 pt) Identify one other apparent discrepancy between the chemical and microscopic exams (1 pt.)
