This paperback book provides the reader with valuable information used in the diagnosis and monitoring of disease through urinalysis. Such testing is useful not only in detection of individuals who have some clinical abnormality, but also in confirming normal urinalysis in the majority of individuals who do not have detectable abnormal levels. The intent is to provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the basic laboratory procedures used in routine urinalysis along with the methodology used in urinalysis strips.
