Urine sediment refers to the particulate matter that can be found in urine when it is centrifuged or allowed to settle. These particles can include a variety of cellular and non-cellular components, such as epithelial cells, white blood cells, red blood cells, casts, crystals, and microorganisms. The examination of urine sediment is a crucial aspect of urinalysis, which helps in the diagnosis and monitoring of various renal and urinary tract diseases.
