PROCEDURE

Centrifuge 5.0 mL of a mixed, freshly voided or catheterized urine in a conical centrifuge tube for 5 minutes at high speed.

Examine several fields at 100X magnification for casts. Classify and count the number of casts and report as a least-to-most range (eg. 5-10) for each type seen within LPF (Low Power Fields). Switch to 400X magnification and examine for other elements, i.e., WBCs, RBCs, Epithelial cells, yeast, bacteria, Trichomonas vaginalis, Sperm cells, mucous filaments and crystals.
