Abstract
A recommendation for basic urinalysis and urine culture is published as an attempt to improve the clinical value of urinary tests and to create a system that utilizes laboratory work as sensibly as possible. More clinical background information is needed when basic urinalysis and urine culture is performed in stages. Collection and storage of urine specimens are standardized in addition to used equipment and bacterial culture. Cytological supravital stain improves qualitative and quantitative findings of urine sediment cytology. A close cooperation between central hospital district is necessary and stressed for further bacterial cultures in more complicated microbiological findings.Keywords
