Urinary Analysis and Diagnosis by Microscopical and Chemical Examination

The urinary sediment beyond light microscopical examination.

In the present issue of NDT, Chan et al. [1] report that the messenger (m) RNA expression of T-bet (a central Th1 transcription factor), interleukin (IL)-10, transforming growth factor (TGF)-b and MCP-1 in the urinary sediment of patients with active lupus nephritis decrease with successful immunosuppressive therapy. Importantly, various other cytokine mRNAs, including those of IL-2, -4, -12 an...

Light microscopical diagnosis of rabies

A study of microscopical and chemical tests for the rapid diagnosis of urinary tract infections in general practice.

Aids to the rapid diagnosis of urinary tract infection were assessed by the examination of 325 consecutive urine samples taken in the normal course of work in a general practice. Of these samples 103 produced a pure growth of at least 10(5) organisms per ml. The appearance and smell of each sample was noted and it was then tested by simple low-power microscopy of a drop of urine and by a dipsti...
