Urine analysis by Nechiporenko is a quantitative determination( counting) of the content in one milliliters of urine of erythrocytes, leukocytes and cylinders.
How to collect a urinalysis by Nechiporenko

Urinalysis by Nechiporenko for leukocytes
Leukocytes are cells whose main function is to fight the spread of infections.
An increase in the number of white blood cells in the urine indicates the presence of infection in the urinary tract or in the kidneys.
The increase in the number of leukocytes in urine tests according to Nechiporenko can be detected in such diseases:
- cystitis( inflammatory disease of the bladder);
- pyelonephritis( inflammation of the kidneys, during which there is an increase in the level of leukocytes);
- kidney stones( nephrolithiasis, nephrolithiasis).
Quite often urine analysis by Nechiporenko shows not only an increase in the number of leukocytes, but also bacteria and red blood cells.
