Urology

After coming to the hospital, urine will be collected and tested to see if there are white blood cells, blood, protein, etc. in the urine. In addition, the components (sediments) that have settled in the centrifuge are examined under a microscope. Check for abnormal cells (cancer cells). I will let you know the results of the urine test.

If an infection is suspected, such as when there is fever or pain and white blood cells are observed in a urine test, a urine culture is performed to investigate the causative bacteria. In addition, by examining drug susceptibility, appropriate antibiotics are used for treatment.

A blood sample is taken to check for abnormal renal and hepatic functions, increased white blood cells, increased inflammatory proteins, and anemia.

It also measures PSA, a marker for prostate cancer.

I will let you know the results of the blood test later.

An ultrasound test that uses sound waves to look inside the body. It is used in various organs because it is less harmful to the body. In urology, echocardiograms of the kidney, bladder, prostate, and testicles are performed.

Based on the results of the ultrasound examination, if necessary, the patient will be referred to an affiliated clinic or hospital for imaging tests such as CT and MRI. Combined with ultrasound findings, it is possible to perform highly accurate examinations.
