title: [Examination of urine in the office].
abstract: Urinalysis is a major basic examination that makes demands on the physician's knowledge and experience. The assessment of the color and smell already provide the doctor with important diagnostic information. For rapid orientation, test strips (pH, sugar, nitrite, bilirubin, protein, ketone bodies, urobilinogen, erythrocytes, leukocytes, etc.) and dip-slides (orientation for the presence of bacteria, semiquantitative determination) are available.
