Analytic techniques for diagnosis

In the second half of the nineteenth century the laboratory established its permanent place in the medical practice. Microscopic analysis of blood urine and faeces as often very revealing. Macroscopic and chemical analyses also became increasinly important. Diabetes, for example, could be quickly detected by an analysis od blood sugar, while protein in the urine indicated a kidney infection. These kind of tests often enabled both doctor and patient to pinpoint the problem quickly.
