Urinalysis for identifica- tion of blood and glucose, urine culture for diagnosis of uri- nary tract infection, and urine pregnancy and drug screening are just a few of the urine tests that have become mainstays in modern medical practice. More recent technological advances in laboratory testing have allowed for expansion of urine-based testing; they are now considered accurate, noninvasive, and cost-effective options for diagnosis of sexually transmitted infections, renal insufficiency, and even cancer screening. Urine Tests: A Case-Based Guide to Clinical Evaluation and Application was conceived in response to the recognition that urine tests are essential in both inpatient and outpatient care settings, yet no clinically based resource exists devoted to understanding their nuances. Appropriate collection, analysis, and interpretation of urine for testing are essential for the diagnosis and management of both common and rare patient concerns. Thus, a handbook describing urine collec- tion technique, methods of analyzing urine, specific tests available, and interpretation for simple and complex diagno- ses is an essential tool. This book is a collaborative effort between specialists, pri- mary care providers, administrators, and researchers who have expert knowledge of urine testing. The authors of this book perform urine testing on patients daily and fully under- stand the advantages and pitfalls of urine-based tests. The v vi Preface focus of this book is to provide practical knowledge and clini- cally relevant scenarios for urine-based tests in order to improve overall patient care. Iowa City, IA, USA V.J.A.
