Urine for Phase Contrast is a specialized microscopic examination that uses phase contrast microscopy to evaluate red blood cells (RBCs) in urine. This technique helps differentiate whether the blood in urine originates from the kidneys (glomerular) or from other parts of the urinary tract.
It is particularly useful in evaluating hematuria (blood in urine) and identifying underlying kidney disorders.
A urine sample is examined under a phase contrast microscope, which enhances the visibility of cellular structures.
- Dysmorphic RBCs: Suggest kidney (glomerular) origin
- Normal RBCs: Suggest bleeding from urinary tract (non-glomerular origin)
This distinction helps guide further diagnosis and treatment.
