The so-called telescoped urinary sediment is one in which red cells, white cells, oval fat bodies, and all types of casts are found in more or less equal profusion. ... In end-stage kidney disease of any cause, the urinary sediment often becomes very scant because few remaining nephrons produce dilute urine.

Because examination of urinary sediment provides a direct sampling of urinary tract morphology, it provides important information useful for both diagnosis and prognosis. Microscopic examination of urine sediment is usually performed in addition to routine procedures.

Being able to review a fresh urine sediment can provide you with lots of pertinent information when it comes to renal-urinary tract pathology. It's best to use a fresh sample i.e. reviewed preferrable within minutes of collection. ... There are many things you can see in analyzing the urinary sediment. This includes blood:

Urinalysis may provide evidence of significant renal disease in asymptomatic patients. ... The microscopic urinalysis is vital to making diagnoses in many asymptomatic cases, including urinary tract infection, urinary tract tumors, occult glomerulonephritis, and interstitial nephritis.

The microscopic examination of the urine sediment is an integral part of the urinalysis (UA). Sediment findings often are necessary for the proper interpretation of results of the physicochemical portion of the UA, which is discussed in the Routine Urinalysis module.

Except for the cystine crystals and a few others, the majority of crystals found in the urinary sediment are of limited clinical value. It is tempting to associate crystals with a risk of urolithiasis, but the majority of patients with a crystalluria do not have and will not develop kidney stones.
