Learn how to accurately analyze urine and body fluids with Fundamentals of Urine and Body Fluid Analysis, 5th Edition. Known for its clear writing style, logical organization, and vivid full-color illustrations, this renowned text offers the perfect level and depth of information for understanding the fundamental principles of urine and body fluids frequently encountered in the clinical laboratory. This includes the collection and analysis of urine, fecal specimens, vaginal secretions, and other body fluids such as cerebrospinal, synovial, seminal, amniotic, pleural, pericardial, and peritoneal fluids. Author Nancy Brunzel also shares her extensive knowledge and expertise in the field as she highlights key information and walks you through essential techniques and procedures — showing you how to correlate data with your knowledge of basic anatomy and physiology in order to understand pathologic processes.

New to this edition
NEW! Fully updated content
provides valuable information on the latest techniques and advances in the field.
NEW! Enhanced content, new tables, and new images facilitate the microscopic differentiation of monocytes, macrophages, and mesothelial cells in pleural, peritoneal, and pericardial fluids.
NEW! More than250 photomicrographs of cells and other components in body fluid and urine sediment serve as a visual quick reference for identification during analysis.
NEW! Thumbprint imagesembedded in numerous tables enhance learning and serve as an invaluable resource when performing fluid analysis at the bench.
Key Features
Study questions and case studies
in each chapter reinforce comprehension and application, with an answer key located in the back of the book.
UNIQUE! Table of crystal images based on shape serves as a single, comprehensive guide to the identification of crystals in urine sediment.
UNIQUE! Image Gallery of Urine Sedimentprovides alternate views of sediment components to augment the numerous classic photomicrographs already present in the Microscopic Examination of Urine chapter.
UNIQUE! Quick Guides to urine and body fluid photomicrographs make it fast and easy to find a photo of a specific cell type or component of interest.
UNIQUE! Tables with high quality polarizing microscopy photomicrographs demonstrate the differences in birefringent intensity of substances with and without a red compensator.
The most complete collection of high-quality, full-color images enables optimal identification of microscopic components in urine and other body fluids.
