e text. Thorough coverage is provided for sections on cells, casts, crystals, organisms, and artifacts urine sediment findings are shown for a variety of diseases and microscope filter changes and stage movement are simulated. A final exam with detailed answers is included as well as an atlas that allows easy access to an image library indexed by urine sediment structures or disease association. Any two images can be displayed side by side for optimum comparison. No previous computer experience is necessary to access the two hundred enhanced, high-quality digital images of urine sediment. LEARNING OBJECTIVESDescribe the anatomic structures involved in urine formation.Describe the three parts of a complete urinalysis.Describe three methods of enhancing the visualization of urinary sediment structures.Identify and differentiate the common cell types found in urinary sediment.Enumerate red blood cells and white blood cells in unstained urinary sediment.Identify the types of casts seen in urinary sediment and state the clinical significance associated with each finding.Differentiate between crystals found in normal urine and crystals associated with clinical disease.Describe typical urinary sediment findings and key biochemical findings associated with selected renal disorders.
