R
1. reagent strip (dipstick) urinalysis
for screening laboratories, physician offices, and
patient home testing
remains a valuable frontline test for the early
detection and monitoring of px for chemical
abnormalities
encompasses the physiochemical analysis of urine
requires less sophisticated training of personnel
esily performed on multiple settings
provides accurate information in several clinical
situations
3
R
@. screening wet analysis
Y referred to as a routine or basic urinalysis
Y has 2 components:
macroscopic urinalysis or physiochemical
determinations (appearance, sp gr, and
multiparameter reagent strip measurements of
several chemical constituents)
brightfield or phase-contrast examination of urine
segment for evidence of hematuria, pyuria, cylinduria
(casts), and crystalluria
4
R
R. cytodiagnostic urinalysis
Y specialized urinalysis
Y cytologic approach to the urine sediment
Y more sensitive test pathologic test for evaluating urine
sediment in several renal and lower urinary tract
disorders
Y this specialized urine cytology test has replaced the
quantitative `ddis count method
Y provides sequential info regarding the progression or
regression of many urinary system conditions

iypes of urine specimens
Y Ê Y Ñ Ê
most commonly received specimen
used for bacterial culture
Y Ê Ê Ê
Y Ê Ñ Ñ
the ideal screening specimen
used for routine screening, pregnancy tests an ideal specimen for routine screening
and for determining orthostatic proteinuria and for bacterial culture
Y Ê patient is instructed to cleanse thoroughly
the genitalia and is asked to collect the
second voided urine specimen used for
glucose monitoring midstream portion of urine. When
Y @ Ê collecting, patient should be instructed to
timed specimen is used to determine separate the labia in females or retract the
concentration of a particular substance foreskin in uncircumcised males.
Instruction: Y Ê Ê
Y Day 1 ʹ 7am
used for bacterial culture and cytology
patient voids and discards specimen
sterile needle is introduced into the
patient collects all urine for the next 24
hours bladder to collect sample that is free
Y Day 2 ʹ 7am of contaminants
patient voids and adds this urine to the Y Ê
previously collected urine
soft, clear plastic bag w/ adhesive is
attached to the genital portion

Y urine specimen must be evaluated in terms of
acceptability
Y Considerations: proper labeling, proper specimen
for requested test, proper receptacle, storage
conditions (time, temperature) and preservative,
visible signs of contamination, and any
transportation delays in moving the specimen to
the lab
Y a properly labeled specimen must have the
patient͛s full name, and the date and time of
collection

Y Normal appearance:
freshly voided urine is usually clear
Y white cloudiness may be caused by
precipitation of amorphous phosphates and
carbonates
Y Causes of turbidity:
presence of phosphates, carbonates, crystals, red
blood cells, leukocytes, epithelial cells, etc.
