Abstract
Disclosed is a urine specimen analyzing method which improves the detection of casts in a urine specimen by flowing a measurement sample containing a urine specimen through a flow cell, irradiating light on the measurement sample flowing through the flow cell, generating a signal waveform indicating a temporal change of intensity of light given off by the measurement sample, and detecting casts distinguishably from mucus threads contained in the urine specimen, based on information related to respective slope at both end sides of the signal waveform corresponding to each formed element contained in the urine specimen.
