Abstract

Cytological analysis of urine sediment is an
integral part of urine analysis and a useful, cost-effective diagnostic tool
for all routine clinical examinations, which can sometimes be overlooked in
veterinary practice. Proper handling and timely urine sample analysis are
essential for valid microscopic analysis. Microscopic urinary sediment testing
is usually carried out with stained or unstained specimen. A common urine may
contain a small number of cells (erythrocytes and leukocytes, epithelial cells)
of several crystals, spermatozoids (male animals). In contrast, a large number
of cells or casts, the presence of unusual types of crystals, neoplastic cells,
parasites, and microorganisms include abnormal findings, requiring a specialized
diagnostic approach. Correct identification of organic components of the
urinary sediment are crucial for accurate and timely diagnosis of kidney
disorders. Laboratory experts should be trained to properly identify and
classify organic components of the urinary tract.
