Introduction The standardisation of urinary sediment appears as a necessity under the condition of increasing the laboratories number, because there is necessary a coordination between the laboratories regarding the number of parameters which the urinalysis includes and the way of expressing them. The aim of the study: The ideea of urinalyse standardisation started from the high number of nonconcordances which I noticed comparing the results emitted by more laboratories from Timişoara. Discutions and proposals We focused on the main nonconcordances and errors which appear while testing. 1. Preanalytical errors (known ) 2. Examiner’s errors 3. Errors connected to the methods used. Recomandations and conclusions As a conclusion, we propose that both the way of expressing and the way of emitting the report used in County Hospital Timişoara – Urinalysis Department.
