Urine Dysmorphic RBC Test
Introduction to the Urine Dysmorphic RBC Test
The Urine Dysmorphic RBC Test is a specialized diagnostic tool used to evaluate the presence of dysmorphic red blood cells (RBCs) in urine, which can be indicative of underlying kidney disorders. This test is essential for nephrologists in diagnosing and managing various renal conditions.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the morphology of red blood cells in urine samples. Dysmorphic RBCs are often associated with glomerular injury, making this test a valuable asset in diagnosing kidney diseases.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Individuals experiencing symptoms such as:
- Blood in urine (hematuria)
- Frequent urination
- Swelling in the body (edema)
- High blood pressure
are advised to consider the Urine Dysmorphic RBC Test. Additionally, those with risk factors such as diabetes or a family history of kidney disease should also seek this test for early detection.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Early detection of kidney disorders
- Guidance for nephrologists in treatment planning
- Same-day results for timely intervention

Results from the Urine Dysmorphic RBC Test will indicate the presence and percentage of dysmorphic RBCs in your urine.
