Blood.
ICD-9-CM diagnosis code 599.72 is for Microscopic hematuria. (hematuria = blood in the urine)
Blood in the urine is known as hematuria. There are two types of hematuria; gross and microscopic. Gross hematuria is visible to the eye while microscopic is visible only under the microscope. Causes of either type of hematuria include infection of the bladder, kidneys or ureters. Other causes include kidney stones, trauma, or tumor/cancer.
Urine must be centrifuged before microscopic examination to separate any cells, bacteria, and other solid components from the liquid portion, or supernatant. This allows for a clearer view of the cells and other elements present in the urine sample under a microscope, making it easier to detect abnormalities or infections.
The microscopic, functional unit of the kidney and the site of urine-production is the Nephron.
The name given to the millions of microscopic filters in the kidney is the renal corpuscles or nephrons. They are responsible for filtering waste and excess substances from the blood to produce urine.
Urinalysis with microscopic exam is a laboratory test that evaluates a urine sample for the presence of various substances like proteins, glucose, blood cells, and bacteria. The microscopic exam specifically involves looking at the urine sediment under a microscope to identify cells, crystals, and other particles that may indicate underlying health conditions.
Urine R and M stands for Urine Routine and Microscopic examination. It is a laboratory test that involves chemical, physical, and microscopic analysis of a urine sample to check for various substances such as proteins, glucose, red and white blood cells, and bacteria. This test is commonly used to diagnose urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and other urinary system-related conditions.
