Study Notes
Urinalysis
- Urinary sediment analysis: involves the detection and identification of insoluble materials in the urine.
- Microscopic constituents: urine sediments can contain various microscopic constituents, including:
- Casts
- Crystals
- Blood cells
- Bacteria
- Yeast
- Parasites
Examination of Urine Sediment Structures
- Demonstration slides: examining demonstration slides of urine sediment structures helps to:
- Familiarize oneself with the morphology of normal and abnormal urine sediment components
- Enhance identification skills
Preparing Urine Sediment for Microscopic Examination
- Main objective: the main objective of preparing urine sediment for microscopic examination is to:
- Concentrate and preserve the formed elements and insoluble materials in the urine for accurate identification and diagnosis
Formed Elements in Urine Sediment
- Formed elements: some of the formed elements that can contribute to the urine sediment include:
- Red blood cells
- White blood cells
- Epithelial cells
- Casts
- Crystals
