Urine Sediment + Culture + Sensitivity

. This test is performed to identify and diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs) and other urinary abnormalities.
. The urine sediment test is a diagnostic procedure used to examine the solid particles (sediment) found in urine, which can provide valuable insights into kidney function and urinary tract health.
. This test is often performed to identify the presence of abnormal cells, crystals, bacteria, casts, or other substances that may indicate conditions such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or bladder disorders.
. Culture is used to isolate and identify the specific bacteria or fungi causing the infection, while sensitivity testing determines the most effective antibiotics or antifungal treatments to guide targeted therapy and improve patient outcomes.
