Rebuilding Iraqi Laboratories
By: Capt Tracy Harrelson
Re-Establishing Iraqi relationships Part II Main Focus:Partnered with Iraqi Task Force and MEDCOMDeveloped Lab testing initiative proposal to be
submitted to Iraqi Ministry of Health.Wrote and translated three lab OIs and
submitted design for wall chart for Iraqi Lab techs.
Submitted EXSUM to 332nd EMDG to partner with the training and establishing of Iraqi Lab tech training.
Iraqi Physician, Nurses and Lab tech monthly CME
Epithelial Cells: Cells lining the renal area that are deposited into the urine. Little diagnostic significance
Epithelial Cells Renal Tubular Transitional Squamous RBCs RBCs/WBCs WBCs
Bacteria (Cocci) Bacteria (Rods) Yeast (Candida) Starch (Artifact)
URINE SEDIMENT
CrystalsUric Acid Calcium Oxalate Triple Phosphate Ammonium Biurate
Renal : Larger then WBC’s
Transitional :Pear shaped
Hyaline Fine Granular Coarse Granular RBC WBC Waxy
Squamous: Can indicate improper collection.
RBC’s Large number of RBCs in urine can be due to infection, trauma, tumors or kidney stones. 1-2 RBC’s/hpf is considered normal.
-
Bacteria: Can be contamination or presence of a UTI.
Cocci:
WBC’s: Presence of greater than 1 WBC /hpf in males and 5 WBC’s/hpf in females and children suggest infection.
Rods:
Yeast: Vary in size and shape. Can be contaminatate ( from skin or vaginal tract) or a UTI
Starch granules: Can be contaminate from gloves or baby powder.
Y
Uric acid crystal: Found in acidic urine. No clinical significance
Calcium oxalate: Envelope shaped appearance
Triple phosphate: Coffin lid appearance.
Ammonium Biurate crystal:yellow-brown color with spicules.
Granular cast: Rough/granular appearance. Hyaline cast:Normal urine sediment may contain 1-2 hyaline cast per low powered field
-
RBC cast: Kidney injury. Granular with hemoglobin from lysed RBCs
WBC cast:Presence suggests urinary tract infection.
Waxy Cast:Smooth. The ends are squared. Found in chronic renal disease. Fine granular: May
appear grey or pale yellow in color
Coarse granular: Often appear black

IQATF EXSUMPropose a user friendly diagnostic testing for
integration into Iraqi clinics. Emphasize to the Iraqi physicians a negative
result is as important as a positive result.Importance of surveillance Decrease the incidence of unnecessary
treatment and encourage more people to see the doctors rather the local pharmacies.

AFTER ACTION REPORTIraqi Physicians Continuing Medical Education –
Intensive Care Purpose: To improve the medical knowledge and standards of intensive care management
The afternoon was session was set for skills training and the main focus of the class was on the lab
Trainees:Medical College: Dr. Haqqi Ismael (General
Medicine) Yethrib Clinic: Dr. Salah Mahdi Ahmad Ibn Firnas Clinic: Mr. Faez (Nurse
PHYSICIANS EVALUATIONS What did you like about the conference today? - The lab tests hands-on section - Very good - Conclusive, nice 2. What would you like to see changed about the

month? - Yes 5. Would you recommend this conference to others? - Yes 6. What topic(s) would you like to discuss in future
conferences? - Multiple subjects - Infective (parasites/helminthic) dz - Mineral & vitamin deficiencies - Adult & pediatric anemia
Positive Results: Mr. Faez, Ibn Firnaz Nurse Administrator requested all of his lab techs attend the Nurse CME and
spend time working with JBB lab techs
