Urinalysis: Preparing the 3 patient urine specimens for microscopic analysis

This video shows specimens being put into a graduated conical vial in order to get a great pellet during gentrification. The specimens are then centrifuged and viewed microscopically using the special urine slide. I did not like the video for the microscopic analysis of these urines. Unfortunately I am still working out the kinks on how to best make videos on the microscopes. Here were the results: 1 Had Calcium Oxalate crystals with less than 1 WBC, RBC, and Transitional Epithelial cells= Indicating a kidney stone 2 Had amorphous urates identified by lack of structure and being soluble in NaOH, there were also 1 squamous per hpf, less than 1 transitional epithelial cells, and rare calcium oxalate crystals= kidney stone also possible 3 Had a pH of 9, many bacteria, 4 squamous epithelial cells per hpf, and triple phosphate crystals ie. coffin lid structures= old urine with need for recollection
