title: [Interpretation of basic urinalysis in athletes].
abstract: Basic urinalysis is a quick and easy method to obtain diagnostic information on diseases that primarily affect the urinary system. However, performing intense physical exercise by healthy individuals can cause changes in various organs, particularly in the urinary tract. Hematuria and proteinuria are abnormalities commonly found after sports activity, This phenomenon can occur in non-contact sports as well as in contact sports. It is important to differentiate between benign alterations in sports practice and true pathological conditions, excluding misdiagnosis of kidney or lower urinary tract disease.
