Urine is one of the most useful samples you handle, but only if it is collected, stored and assessed properly. Anneka Pierzga sets up the complete urinalysis, starting with sample collection and the physical exam.
Includes the full recording (1 hour 8 minutes), the presentation slides as a PDF, and a quiz. Pass the quiz to receive a certificate worth 1 AVNAT point.
Part 1 of Urine the Know builds the foundations every good urinalysis depends on, so the results you report can be trusted.
You’ll start with a short history of urine testing, from early uroscopy to the ‘piss prophets’ whose exposure helped lead to the first medical licensing laws in England. You’ll then learn the three parts of a complete urinalysis (physical, chemical and microscopic) and the collection methods of free catch, bladder expression, catheterisation and cystocentesis, with the risks of each and which method suits urine culture.
The webinar then covers labelling and storage, including testing within 2 hours or refrigerating the sample. You’ll finish with the physical exam of urine: volume and the terms pollakiuria, polyuria, oliguria and anuria, colour and what changes can mean, clarity, specific gravity measured with a refractometer (including how to calibrate it), and odour.
Presented by Anneka Pierzga, BA (Biology), AAS (MLT), MLT (ASCP), RVN, TAA.
