Who this module is for

Medical laboratory scientists and laboratory professionals with foundational urinalysis training.

Learning objectives

  • Pair eGFR category with albuminuria or protein findings.
  • Correlate dipstick chemistry with quantitative urine albumin or protein and sediment findings.
  • Recognize misleading combinations from contamination, concentration, hemoglobin or myoglobin, exercise, or specimen timing and select a bounded laboratory action.

How completion works

Mark every required section done and answer every knowledge check in those sections correctly. The final save completes the module automatically.
