Urinalysis (routine and microscopy) typically consists of reagent strip (dipstick) analysis and microscopic evaluation of a sample of urine. Dipstick analysis detects the following: urine-specific ...

A urine test strip for blood can detect as little as 150 µl/l of free hemoglobin, corresponding to 5–20 RBC/l on microscopic analysis, or 1–4 RBC/HPF of concentrated urine sediment.

Urine was able to tolerate, i.e., to avoid crystal formation, until SS ratios of approximately 10. CONCLUSIONS: Relative CaOx SS and the concentration ratio of calcium to oxalate are important ...

The mineral selected for this study, calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM), is sparingly soluble in aqueous media and poses challenges for removal once formed. Using a combination of in situ techniques ...

Results of urine microscopy and cultures were normal. Evaluation of semen confirmed the presence of red blood cells and pus cells. Culture of semen for bacteria, including Mycobacterium, was negative.

In this article Dr Kapil Thakkar covering causes, types, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment options of kidney stones (nephrolithiasis)—including diet, medication, and surgery—and strategies for recurrence ...
