Urinalysis in dehydration fever.

JOHN THOMSON, M.D., D.P.H., D.C.H. (From the Department of Child Life and Health, University of Edinburgh) Introduction In the course of carrying out a series of observations on renal output and the composition of the urine in the newborn period, two cases of dehydration fever were observed. The observations recorded in these two cases deviate so far from the normal, Thomson (1944), that their ...

Urinalysis in clinical diagnosis.

It is appropriate to commence this article on the history of urine examination with the words of Auguste Comte (1798-1857), who wrote in Positive Philosophy that "To understand a science it is necessary to know its history".' In this context and with special reference to urine, the most freely accessible of all biological fluids, it is not surprising to know that over the course of history it w...

Community EM Emergency department visual urinalysis versus laboratory urinalysis

Objective: The primary objective of this study was to compare the results of nurse-performed urinalysis (NPU) interpreted visually in the emergency department (ED) with laboratoryperformed urinalysis (LPU) interpreted by reflectance photometry. Methods: This was a prospective observational study based on a convenience sample from my emergency practice. Emer gency nurses, who were unaware of the...

Preanalytical requirements of urinalysis

Urine may be a waste product, but it contains an enormous amount of information. Well-standardized procedures for collection, transport, sample preparation and analysis should become the basis of an effective diagnostic strategy for urinalysis. As reproducibility of urinalysis has been greatly improved due to recent technological progress, preanalytical requirements of urinalysis have gained im...
