“…Παράσιτα όπως τα Capillaria sp. και Dioctophyma sp., αν και σπάνια, προσβάλλουν σκύλους και γάτες σε περιοχές με λιμνάζοντα ύδατα (Osborne et al 2011b). Σε σκύλους με διροφιλαρίωση μπορεί να παρατηρηθούν μικροφιλάριες ως αποτέλεσμα μικρο-αιμορραγίας στα νεφρικά σωληνάρια ή λόγω ιατρογε-νούς αιματουρίας (Osborne and Stevens 1999).…”

Microscopic examination of the urine sediment is an integral part of urinalysis and a useful, cost-effective diagnostic tool in the everyday practice. Diagnostic investigation of urinary diseases and several systemic metabolic diseases make the microscopic evaluation of urine sediment a priority along with the physical and biochemical examination of urine. The different methods of urine collection (midstream voiding, catheterization or percutaneous cystocentesis) have advantages and disadvantages and the clinician has to decide on the best fitted method of urine collection, according to the medical background of the animal and the case-specific objectives of urinalysis. Proper handling and timely analysis of urine sample are essential for a valid microscopic evaluation. The microscopic examination of urinary sediment is usually conducted in stained or unstained “wet-mounted” preparations; occasionally, air-dried Giemsa-stained sediment smears are examined.Normal urine is sterile and may contain small numbers of cells (white and red blood cells, epithelial cells), few crystals, occasional casts, fat droplets and spermatozoa (male animals). In contrast, large numbers of cells or casts, presence of unusual types of crystals, neoplastic cells, parasites and microorganisms comprise abnormal findings, necessitating a more specialized diagnostic approach. This review focuses on the technical aspects pertaining to the proper sediment microscopic examination, the normally expected elements of sediment and the clinically relevant interpretation of abnormal findings.
