Nephritisches Sediment – Schritt für Schritt

Die Untersuchung des Urins und deren (Be-)Wertung sind zentraler Bestandteil im diagnostischen Pfad von Nierenerkrankungen [1]. Essenziell sind dabei die korrekte Untersuchung und Interpretation des Urinsediments. Ein nephritisches Sediment weist mit hoher Spezifität auf eine glomeruläre Nierenerkrankung hin. Dieser Beitrag erläutert Befunderstellung, Bewertung und Konsequenzen eines nephritischen Sediments.

Abstract

The examination of urine and its evaluation are central components in the diagnostic pathway for kidney diseases. Essential to this process is the correct analysis and interpretation of the urine sediment. A nephritic sediment indicates glomerular kidney disease with high specificity. This article explains the diagnosis, evaluation, and implications of a nephritic sediment.
