Analysis of urinary sediments under the microscope is still an important technique for detecting and monitoring diseases of the kidney and the urinary tract. This short volume provides a detailed introduction to the subject for physicians, surgeons and their respective support staff.
Methods for preparing the urinary sediment are covered in detail, together with the principles of interpreting microscopic appearances. The individual elements of the sediment are described fully, with the aid of more than 200 illustrations, most of them in full colour.
Integration of findings from examination of the urinary sediment with the results of other diagnostic techniques is a key feature of this book, which also details the effects of drug therapy on the appearances of the sediment.
The Urinary Sediment will be of value to anyone with a practical interest in the analysis of urine, including nephrologists, urologists and pathologists.
