The urinary system excretes urine, carrying waste and toxins produced by the body during metabolism, maintaining stability in the body. When the body is healthy, urine is usually clear or pale yellow. When the body has a disease, the urine has white sediment. The condition of urine sediment is caused by many reasons.

A urine sediment test can help examine the urine sediment to find the cause of some health problems you are experiencing. The results of the urine sediment are also important in helping the doctor make an accurate diagnosis.
