Addis sediment
From WikiLectures
Addis sediment is an examination of sediment from urine collected over 24 hours.
Use[edit | edit source]
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Today, Addis sediment is considered an outdated method (elements break down during the 24-hour collection).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.
