ABSTRACT
Uroscopy is the macroscopic examination of urine, and it is an important diagnostic tool in Unani medicine. The findings of uroscopy are linked with the humoral theory of medicine. Human Urine is the first fluid that was examined for medical purposes. There are seven parameters in uroscopy, each parameter is studied in detail and then the conclusion is drawn based on the findings of all. Examination of urinary sediments is one of the parameters in uroscopy. In urine, sediment is a denser and differentiable component from the watery constituent. The features of urinary sediment vary a lot in different physiological and pathological conditions of the body that are of medical importance. It is an evident fact that sediment makes up the solute component of urine, which is the waste product of hepatic digestion. One of these seven indicators that uroscopy analyses, is the inspection of urine sediment. The amount, color, homogeneity, position, and rate of sedimentation of the sediments are taken into account to ascertain the state of the body from them, and careful correlation is made with the results of other parameters.
