Primary care providers are often faced with the responsibility of making a diagnosis based on the results of laboratory tests involving urinalysis microscopic procedures. A thorough knowledge of the microscopic elements being identified in a urine sample is essential to proper interpretation of these laboratory tests. Using a series of cases, participants will be presented with patient scenarios that will include urinalysis results and microscopic evaluation of urine sediment. This presentation will promote better understanding of the concepts involved and highlight the significance of a variety of urinalysis microscopic findings that aid in making a diagnosis.

Learning Objectives:

At the conclusion of this session, participants should be able to:
  • Correlate urine dipstick results to provider-performed urine microscopy findings to assist in making a clinical diagnosis
  • Analyze the urine dipstick and microscopic findings of common renal disorders noted in primary care
  • Utilize urinalysis dipstick and microscopic findings to separate unusual disorders from more commonly encountered disorders
