Keeping it Renal

Keeping It Renal: Optimizing urine sediment analysis to improve patient outcomes
Watch now

Lab. Results. Matter. When 70% of all medical decisions are driven by lab test results,¹ it is mission critical to accurately communicate those lab results to the doctors. It can literally be a matter of life or death.
With labs understaffed today by up to 25 percent,² there can be a disconnect in how lab results get reported. This creates a greater likelihood for diagnostic errors, which account for up to 80,000 patient deaths annually.³ Fast, efficient, accurate lab testing equipment can make a vital difference in renal patient outcomes.

You will finish this webinar knowing:

  • Why urine sediment is the perfect biomarker detective for diagnosis
  • How to visually identify urine sediments and related medical implications
  • How automation creates a reduction in sample processing time and 90+ percent particle identification accuracy,4 which can impact your lab…and your patients’ care
