Ukrainian Translation of the EFLM European Urinalysis Guideline 2023

The Ukrainian translation of the Guideline will facilitate more effective implementation of clinical recommendations into the routine practice of medical laboratories, by ensuring accessibility for a broader audience of professionals, simplifying the adaptation of international standards, and promoting the dissemination of advanced laboratory practices in Ukraine. This translation has been made possible through the collaboration of the European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) with Ukrainian professional organizations, including: NGO “Educational Institute of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics” All-Ukrainian Association of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (AACCLM) NGO “School of Clinical Microbiologists” The translation was carried out thanks to the dedicated efforts of academic staff from the following departments: Department of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics, Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University Department of Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics, Shupyk National Healthcare University of Ukraine Department of Laboratory Medicine, Zaporizhzhia State Medical and Pharmaceutical University Department of Military Therapy, Ukrainian Military Medical Academy We hope that the publication of the translated Guideline in the Ukrainian Journal of Laboratory Medicine will contribute to its widespread use among professionals. The publication was made possible with the support of HLR LLC. We believe this translation will serve as a valuable tool for improving the professional competence of Ukrainian specialists and will enhance the quality of laboratory diagnostics, particularly in the area of urinalysis, which remains insufficiently standardized in Ukraine.
