title: [Urinalysis using dipsticks].
abstract: Beneath its apparent simplicity, the urinary dipstick is one of the most important advances in the current diagnosis procedure in pediatric nephro-urology. This test represents the best way to approach the most frequent conditions, i.e., urinary tract infection, hematuria and proteinuria. It therefore offers reliable information at a very low financial cost.
