Rezensionen / Stimmen
'The book covers all aspects of urinalysis including appropriate collection, storage, preparation of urine for laboratory analysis, and chemical and microscopic evaluation. It presents practical techniques for urine collection, has many images of sediment structures, and helpful tables that summarize information ... This book mirrors those available in human medicine. It is thorough and the images are excellent' Doody's, December 2017
