What is Eddie counting?

1. Overview

Adie's count is translated into Addie's count, that is, the 12-hour urine cell excretion number is a traditional and commonly used urine cytological examination method for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection, and is commonly used in clinic for patients with chronic pyelonephritis who have no obvious abnormality in urine routine. This experiment is to determine the number of red blood cells, white blood cells and casts in concentrated urine for 12 hours at night, so as to understand the degree of renal damage.

2. Reference amount

(1) Red blood cells: <; 5, ml urine per 12 hours;

(2) White blood cells: <; The ml number of 1 million /12 hours urine;

(3) pipe type: <; The ml number of urine in 5/12 hours.

Extended information:

1. Test specimens and requirements:

Collect urine for 12 hours and add preservatives.

2. Clinical significance:

(1) The number of cells and casts in urine of patients with various nephritis can be slightly increased to a significant increase. The cast can reach 5, ~ 1 million urine per 12 hours, the red blood cells can reach 15 million ~ 4 million urine per 12 hours, and the white blood cells can reach 2 million ~ 5 million urine per 12 hours.

(2) The white blood cells in urine of patients with pyelonephritis increased significantly, as did other urinary tract infections and prostatitis.

(3) However, Addis counting is rarely used in clinic at present because of many factors affecting the accuracy of the results. Now, 1 hour urine sediment counting is mostly used.
