ABSTRACT
Evaluation of patients with acute kidney injury requires comprehensive assessment that includes a urinalysis, which features both semi-quantitative assessment with a urine dipstick and urine microscopy. This process is labor intensive for clinical laboratories, and availability of excellent automated instruments for urinalysis has prompted utilization and acceptance of this strategy by both by laboratories and clinicians. Recently, however, interest in provider performed microscopy has enjoyed a renaissance thanks to both improved microscopy techniques and the endorsement from social media in nephrology. Here, we present two cases of acute kidney injury in which manual microscopy added valuable information to the automated microscopy.
