Objectives: Urinalysis is widely used and is also frequently requested in emergency situations for screening hypovolemia, urinary tract infections, diabetes, ketoacidosis and hematuria. Our aim was to evaluate the impact of reporting urinary sediment in emergency department specimens with the Sysmex UN system.
Methods: We evaluated urinalyses requested by the emergency department over a three-month period and examined red blood cell count interference, compared leukocyte esterase dipsticks to cytofluorimetric leukocyte count and nitrites to cytofluorimetric bacterial count.

Article Synopsis
- Anticoagulant-related nephropathy (ARN) is becoming more recognized as a cause of acute kidney injury (AKI), especially in patients using warfarin, and now also needs scrutiny for direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs).
- A case study showed a 64-year-old male with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation treated with DOACs, presenting with heart failure and AKI, which was linked to kidney damage and underlying IgA nephropathy.
- The findings highlight the need for clinicians to be vigilant about the potential risk of ARN in patients on DOACs, especially when they exhibit symptoms of AKI, emphasizing early diagnosis for better patient outcomes.
