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...
متن کاملImproving productivity: total urinalysis vs. reflex to microscopy
have shown that omitting microscopy exams results in missed diagnosis, which of course causes repeated specimen collection and additional laboratory testing. A study authored by Nancy Brunzel and Diane Berry analyzing 709 routine specimens revealed reflexing to microscopy resulted in one in four patient samples being overlooked for pathological conditions. The authors reported the negative pred...

متن کاملPreanalytical 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...
متن کاملCommunity 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...
