Urine microscopy is an important adjunct to the urinalysis. The findings of cells, casts or crystals can aid in urinalysis interpretation and in making a more accurate diagnosis.

Track these metrics during visits: Urine specific gravity for hydration assessment Sediment analysis to spot crystal formation Blood urea nitrogen levels for kidney function Owners should log ...

Common causes of particles in urine If you’ve ever had to provide a sample for a urinalysis or other kind of “pee test,” sometimes that up-close-and-personal look at your urine reminds you there’s a ...

The objective of the study is to detect the urine crystal present in the patient's urine by image processing after undergoing centrifugation of the urine sample. A microscope was used with a Raspberry ...

On examination, we found the patient to be generally well; microscopy of a sample of fresh urine sediment showed multiple amorphous ovoid crystals (figure). Laboratory investigations—including full ...
