What Is the Difference Between Urine Analysis and Urine Sediment?

The urine analysis is the dipstick so this is something you know we can order in clinic if you come to kidney clinic we actually dip our own urine. You can ask the clinical chemistry lab or it's the hematology lab depending on which institution to actually look at the urine under a microscope and that is now done in an automated fashion with specific machines designed for high throughput. So good to take the whole picture into account when looking at the UA.
