Most patients was not aware of clean catch urine, the proper step by step cleaning of urine part is available in nephrology clinic. Please ask for it. The busy lab technician might forget to instruct you. Void the first half, take the mid stream, pass the urine to the technician, he or she will process it and you will get a better result.


e.g. it can give a supportive evidence of one having glomerulonephritis with dysmorphic type of urine red blood cells, casts etc.
