Abstract
Formation of urine allows a cheap, noninvasive and novel insight into the pathological processes affecting the kidneys and urinary tract and has been shown to be an essential tool to the practising nephrologist [1, 2]. Urine analysis has evolved from ‘the art of uroscopy’, practised in medieval times [3], to detailed chemical analysis and microscopy, allowing early detection and differentiation of renal disease.
