Addis sediment

Addis sediment is an examination of sediment from urine collected over 24 hours.

Use
It is a quantitative examination of urine sediment. It is used for more precise information about the representation of corpuscular elements (erythrocytes, leukocytes, cylinders) in urine.

Standard:


 * eukocytes – 2–4 million,
 * erythrocytes – 1–2 million,
 * cylinders – 10,000.

Today, Addis sediment is considered an outdated method (elements break down during the 24-hour collection). Its alternative is  Hamburgerův sediment - urine collection takes place only for 3 hours.
