Why have I been asked for a urine sediment?
As Urologists, we request this examination for a number of reasons:
It helps us confirm the presence of bacteria, white blood cells and other indicators of infection in the urinary tract.
It is the presence of red blood cells in trace amounts in the urine and is not visible to the naked eye. This condition can be an early indicator of a number of conditions, such as urinary tract infections, kidney stones, kidney disease and, in some cases, bladder or kidney cancer.
It can identify early signs of kidney disease, such as the presence of protein or blood cells in the urine.
If you are being treated for a kidney or urinary condition, urine sediment allows us to assess the effectiveness of interventions.
For patients with conditions such as diabetes or hypertension, this test provides additional information on kidney function.
This service is now available in the urology in Alicante by Dr. Luis David Flores.
