| | Urinalysis finally catches up - College of American Pathologists |
 | | These efforts range from assessing when urinalysis should be ordered and how results can be made more reliable, to the introduction of automation into microscopic analysis of urine, one of the few areas of laboratory medicine that is still done manually in many hospitals. | | | In this setting, urinalysis may be used as a screening examination or in lieu of a medical history. | | | Improving the quality of urinalysis results is another concern, says Timo Kouri, MD, PhD, associate chief physician at Oulu University Hospital, Finland, and chairman of the European project that produced the guidelines. |

| | Oral Specimens v. Urinalysis |
| | Urinalysis is used routinely with treatment clients to monitor illicit drug use. | | | The number of clients with false-positive and false-negative results may be a concern for treatment providers and policymakers. | | | To confirm the comparability of cutoff levels between the IOSCD and the laboratory urinalysis, clinical studies have been conducted for accuracy (OraSure Technologies 2003). |

| | Urinalysis by definition refers only to the chemical analysis of urine... |
| | In practice, routine urinalysis refers to (1) macroscopic analysis, which includes assessment of physical characteristics, and chemical analysis (2) Microscopic analysis for formed elements. | | | Richard Bright was the early proponent of routine practice of urinalysis. | | | Hence rather than condemning the procedure as ancient, need of the day is to promote urinalysis as an extension of bedside clinical medicine. |

| | The upshot is that urinalysis disqualifies many productive, competent workers who enjoy non-traditional drugs in their free time, while completely ignoring the majority of drug abusers, who are alcoholics. | | | Another, more sinister alternative to urinalysis is hair testing, which is even more sensitive to past drug use than urinalysis. | | | Dilution can be boosted by taking diuretics, which stimulate urination; however, the most effective of these are available only on prescription. |
