Descrizione
This is the third edition of “The Urinary Sediment - An Integrated View”
a full colour reference atlas published to excellent reviews in 1994 and 1999.
This edition appears ten years after the previous one, a fact which explains
the many changes this book contains. All parts of the book have been
expanded and updated. More than 60 new images have been added
and more than 110 images of the previous edition have been replaced.
Room has been given to particles which were not described previously such
as macrophages, decoy cells, unusual crystals and crystals due to drugs.
Another distinguishing feature of this edition is the presentation of original
and personal urinary sediment data on various renal diseases.
Finally, a new chapter has been added on quality control programs, which
are aimed at improving the overall quality of urinary sediment examination.
