Abstract

When we talk about urinalysis, we are talking about one of the oldest diagnostic methods used by human beings. A urine sample is easily obtained and it comes from inside the body, thus making relevant information — the presence of blood, for example — easily identifiable. That’s why this biological material has been widely used as a means of clinical diagnosis since the dawn of humanity. In clinical laboratories, the urine sample is extensively analyzed to evidence changes caused by diseases of the kidneys and urinary tract as well as for carbohydrate metabolism disorders, and liver and hemolytic disorders.

Dipstick tests coupled with microscopic analysis of the urine sediment are among the most requested examinations in clinical laboratories worldwide. Microscopic analysis of urine sediment continues to be the gold standard method for urine particle counts and identification.Learn in this webinar how to use a microscope for identifying urine particles, their clinical significance and the findings that can be made depending on the disease affecting the patient.

Key Learnings:

  • How to use a microscope for identifying urine particles.
  • How to evaluate their clinical significance.
  • How to evaluate the findings.
