Current assessment of microhematuria and leukocyturia.

Abstract:

:Technical advances in laboratory testing such as sensitive chemical tests and standardized commercial slides have significantly altered our entire approach to urinalysis. In addition, the recognition of the association of microhematuria with urologic neoplasms and the morphologically altered red blood cells with renal parenchymal bleeding is beginning to expand our knowledge of the pathogenesis of microhematuria. Future trends may include a broader range of chemical tests as well as a better understanding of disease processes associated with microhematuria.

  • Diagnosis and management of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia in pregnancy.

    abstract::Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is the most common cause of severe thrombocytopenia in the healthy newborn, occurring in 1 in 1000 live births. NAIT is analogous to rhesus alloimmunization in pathophysiology; however, it often presents unexpectedly in first pregnancies. Presentation of NAIT varies from mil...
