Interpretation of the Urinalysis (Part 3) - Microscopy and Summary

The final part of a short series on urinalysis interpretation, including microscopy of casts and crystals.

[@ChetanKumarg]

Thank you for such wonderful presentation. I have seen all the 3 videos. They are very professional and no nonsense. They give an all round view of urine tests, while also explaining in detail, wherever required. A lot of home work has gone in the making of these videos. Thanks again for your patient efforts.

[@berilkocak859]

Thank you and I do admire your dedication to explain all of these to us!

[@sunving]

[@reachtt]

Bless you, for creating this channel and these videos. I owe you.

[@thomasscott80]

I am learning urinalysis in school. you have explained it better than my teacher. very well done. thank you.

[@dorothybrown8859]

Exactly what I was seeking, an excellent, no nonsense video. Seeking to perform a urinalysis st home as it is impossible to get one during medical appointments. There is a lab that offers urinalysis as one patient can order, but it does not include microscopy! It has been decades since I performed a urinalysis as a lab tech, but I am pleased as to how much I remember. Now I need to find the first two videos, thanks again ❤

[@folumb]

Thanks so much for these videos! Ever since starting clinical rotations, my residents have always seemed to busy to teach me how to interpret UAs, LFTs, ABGs, etc. Very much a lifesaver!

Well done. Thanks

[@Harlem55]

I'm a bit confused- What are the possible causes of low SG (in the range of around 1.05), with an pH of around 6 -6.5, with everything else pretty much un-remarkable, AGAIN? I want to make sure I have this right....(and yes this is on an exam...)

[@doxy_cycline]

SG 1.05 is actually not low, it's high. It means the urine is more concentrated than normal, suggesting the person is dehydrated. pH of 6/6.5 is within normal limits.

[@ClaireKarue-wi9bj]

Thank you😄

[@x1cool1x]

Eric,Could you please elaborate on the similarities/differences between nephrotic vs nephritic syndrome? Thanks!

[@jakobmouritsen151]

In breif: Nephrotic is associated with heavy proteinuria (above 3.5 gr/day), hypoproteinemia and generalized edema (anasarca) Nephritic is associated with hematuria (dysmorphic RBC/RBC cast), hypertension and oliguria with azotemia.

[@x1cool1x]

Thank you Jakob.

[@shootin_quickgg1559]

Hello, one of the components of a urinalysis I done was a check for epithelial cells. I have tried to research this only to not really understand it. If you could explain this that would be great. Thank you for the great presentation.

[@StrongMed]

Historically, the presence of epithelial cells was thought to be due to "contamination" from suboptimal technique during urine collection, and you'll still often see this explanation on websites providing health information for laypersons. But it doesn't actually mean this for many patients, and unless the UA was to identify a UTI, it probably is irrelevant. However, I recommend asking your own physician as your specific medical history and indication for the test might change this answer.

[@user-fn7wj8yl6m]

Fascinating

[@asdbabel9792]

I am very interested this lecture because need lecture

[@5mbtv170]

Can I have a pdf copy pls? i am a MLS Student, for study purposes only.

[@rb8976]

Can you give normal values for casts and crystals? Or what value/s should be considered abnormal ? P.S. Very helpful videos. I love how you put chapters on this one :))

[@oOoironhideoOo]

great review! thank you :)

[@rameshdhami9007]

it good

[@HannanZikrea]

Can you suggest a good book for further understanding of UA?

[@StrongMed]

I'm sorry, but I honestly don't know of a book that includes a more detailed discussion of the UA all in one place than this video series. If another viewer does, please feel free to recommend it to us both!

[@HannanZikrea]

@@StrongMed Thanks for your reply and great content. Benefitted a lot from your video series.

[@hannahleebaquil1123]

What is the mucus threads rare it is a normal?? Pls answer thanyou

[@StrongMed]

A small amount of mucus in the UA of an asymptomatic person can be normal, whereas a large amount of mucus in a person with dysuria (burning with urination) might suggest a UTI.

[@spinachmasteruganda6738]

helo thx for the presentation I have really enjoyedbut could plz be in position to add us more

I'm sorry, but this is not a good place to seek specific, individualized medical advice. I recommend speaking with a physician ASAP about your symptoms.

what is the difference between urine crystals and stones??

[@StrongMed]

Stones are macroscopic while crystals are microscopic.

I"m very sorry, but I can't give out personalized medical advice on here. Please speak with your doctor regarding any concerns over your test results.

[@hannahleebaquil1123]

Sir what is the meaning the mucus threads rare

[@G.Maldo1]

is a urinalysis the same as a drug test?

[@StrongMed]

No - it's totally different. This video series only covers conventional urinalysis with microscopy, and does *not* cover urine drug/tox screening.

[@docsasikumar1685]

very helpful

[@shemtaghap3471]

Sir. If my urinalysis results are Macroscopic Light Yellow Slightly Turbid SG- 1.005 Acidic Microscopic RBC - 0-2/hpf WBC(PUS)- 0-2/hpf Casts - N/A Ephithelial Cell- Rare Mucus threads- Few Bacteria - Few Chemical Protein- Negative Sugar- Negative The Rest is blank. Do I have UTI.

how did i end up here?

[@nguyennguyenvu1904]

the sound is not good I am quite disappointed

[@StrongMed]

I appreciate your feedback, but can you clarify what isn't good about it? It's not going to win an Oscar for sound mixing, but it sounds fine on my headphones and speakers.

[@nehasharma-fs2ec]

ur videos fail to be concise and clinical applicablitiy

[@StrongMed]

Thanks for your comment. A. My videos are not intended to be concise. I explicitly state this in the channel trailer. B. As a clinician, I assure you that everything in my videos is clinically applicable, though obviously not every video will be equally applicable to all fields.
