The value of morphological features of urine leukocytes in the diagnosis of pyelonephritis

Abstract

Difficulties in diagnosing acute and especially chronic pyelonephritis require improving the methods of detecting this disease. In the daily practice of medical institutions, quantitative methods of studying urine sediment are increasingly being introduced, as well as supravital staining of urine sediment in order to identify active leukocytes and Sterngheimer-Malbin cells.
