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.
