PY - 2020 T2 - Smith & Tanagho's General Urology, 19e AB - Examination of specimens of urine, blood, and genitourinary secretions or exudates commonly directs the subsequent urologic workup and frequently establishes a diagnosis*. Over 27 million outpatient visits per year are for common urologic diagnoses (Litwin and Saigal, 2012), and it is important for the physician to have a broad knowledge of the laboratory methods available to test appropriate specimens. Judicious use of such tests permits rapid, accurate, and cost-effective determination of the probable diagnosis and directs the management of patients with urologic disease.
