AB  - Examination  of  specimens  of  urine,  blood,  and  genitourinary  secretions  or  exudates  commonly  directs  the  subsequent  urologic  workup  and  frequently  establishes  a  diagnosis.  Since  approximately  20%  of  patients  who  visit  a  primary  physician's  office  have  a  urologic  problem,  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.
