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 ...

Urinalysis is one of the most common examination being done to check the components present in the urine. A microscopic exam is needed to detect certain components present in urine such as Red blood ...

Microscopic examination of a sample of fresh urine sediment shows numerous amorphous crystals (arrows) with irregular contours—consistent with xanthine crystals—as well as several keratinocytes and an ...

In the conventional practice, a urine sediment test covers six items: red blood cells, white blood cells, squamous cells, urinary casts, crystals, and bacteria, while urine bacterial culture and ...
