Examination of the urine plays a vital role in the diagnosis of kidney diseases. Proteinuria is an important indicator of renal disease and the types of proteins found in the urine help distinguish glomerular and tubular disorders. The findings of casts and blood cells in the urine provide valuable clues about the causes of the underlying renal pathology. Crystals may be found in the urine of healthy individuals and in patients with urolithiasis, toxic damage, and chronic renal failure.
尿液检查在肾脏疾病的诊断中起着至关重要的作用。蛋白尿是肾脏疾病的一个重要指标，尿液中发现的蛋白质类型有助于区分肾小球和肾小管疾病。尿液中管型和血细胞的发现为潜在肾脏病理的病因提供了有价值的线索。晶体可能在健康个体以及患有尿路结石、中毒性损伤和慢性肾衰竭的患者的尿液中被发现。
