Objective To explore the clinical value of computer-assisted pathologic imaging analysis in evaluating urinary red blood cell morphology. Method 24 nephropathy patients were treated as study group, and 28 patients whose haematuria due to shockwave lithotomy were treated as control. Urine sediment of each patient was stained,and red blood morphology analysis with computer-assisted imaging system was made. Result The sensitivity and specificity were 83.3% and 90.9% respectively in diagnosis of glomerular haematuria; for non-glomerular haematuria,the sensitivity and specificity all were 100%. Conclusion There are high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of glomerular haematuria using computer-assisted imaging analysis.It is reliable and has significant clinical value.
