Automated urine sediment analyzers underestimate the severity of hematuria in glomerular diseases
Abstract Hematuria, either glomerular or extraglomerular, is defined as 3 or more red blood cells (RBCs)/high power field. Currently, urinalyses are commonly performed using automated urine sediment analyzers. To assess whether RBC counting by automated urine sediment analyzers is reliable for defin...
