Course objectives
The course "ADVANCED INTERPRETATION OF THE URINE SEDIMENT [SCB0384]” contributes to the achievement of the goals of the Medicine and Surgery curriculum providing the student with the knowledge required:
- to develop specific expertise in decision making in diagnosis in the single patient in the specialistic areas;
- to provide indications for appropriate use of diagnostic resources.

Results of learning outcomes
At the end of the course "Advanced interpretation of the urine sediment" the students will know:
- The parameters evaluated in the standard macroscopic and microscopic urine analysis and their significance
- The laboratory methods for standard urine analysis including sample preparation for sediment examination
- The difference between normal and abnormal urine sediment constituents.
- The significant urinary sediment constituents associated with the most common renal diseases
The students will be able to:
- Explain the principles of each test included in routine urinalysis.
- Evaluate laboratory test outcomes.
- Recognize the elements present in the urinary sediment
- Correlate test results with patient condition(s).
