Abstract
Urinalysis is a remarkable tool that
can reveal many of the diseases that could go unnoticed and
undiagnosed because they generally do not produce striking signs
or symptoms. Examples include diabetes mellitus, various forms of
glomerulo-nephritis, and chronic urinary tract infections.
Observing the colour, transparency, microscopic and chemical
characteristics of urine and urinary sediments coupled with
microbial culture and sensitivity test is likely to identify
majority of the lower urinary tract disorders in domestic animals.
Urinalysis though being a readily available and an inexpensive
tool for the diagnosis and management of numerous urinary tract
abnormalities, it is still a much neglected facet in veterinary
medicine. This review is aimed at highlighting the various
beneficial aspects of urinalysis which is an indispensable
diagnostic tool in veterinary practice.
