The modern diagnosis about blood and urine
Equipment improvement Light microscopy Electron microscopy Immunohistological examination Cytological examination
Urinalysis
Macroscopic urinalysis-- color, texture, etc (as past)Urine chemical analysis--PH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, etc Microscopic urinalysis--RBC, WBC, bacteria, yeast, crystal, etc
Three urine samples are shown. The one at the left shows a red, cloudy appearance. The one in the
