This authoritative text delivers detailed, practical information on the collection, handling, analysis, and interpretation of urine samples from canine and feline patients. With urinalysis serving as a cornerstone diagnostic procedure for detecting renal disease, urinary tract infections, metabolic disorders, and systemic illnesses, this resource equips practitioners with the knowledge needed to maximize the diagnostic value of every urine sample. The book systematically covers all aspects of urinalysis methodology, from proper sample collection techniques and preservation methods to advanced microscopic examination and biochemical testing. Readers will find in-depth discussions of urine specific gravity, pH, protein content, glucose detection, and sediment analysis, along with detailed guidance on identifying and interpreting crystals, casts, cells, and microorganisms. The text emphasizes the clinical significance of various findings and their correlation with specific disease processes. This comprehensive guide bridges the gap between laboratory results and clinical application, helping veterinarians integrate urinalysis findings into accurate diagnostic workups and treatment plans. With species-specific considerations for both dogs and cats, this resource addresses the unique physiological differences and common pathologies affecting each species, making it an indispensable tool for delivering optimal patient care in small animal practice.
