In recent years, an increasing number of facilities have introduced urinary particle analyzers to improve the efficiency of urinary sediment testing and reduce the visual detection rate. The main measurement principles of urinary particle analyzers are flow cytometry and image analysis, and analysis methods that utilize the characteristics of each device are used. Detection of mulberry bodies is important as a screening test for Fabry disease, but detection of mulberry bodies is difficult even by visual inspection, and there have been no reports of detection of mulberry bodies using urinary particle analyzers. In April 2020, our hospital introduced AUTION EYE AI-4510 (ARKRAY, 2019), a urinary particle analyzer that uses image analysis. In this article, we report on image verification of mulberry bodies, which show various morphologies, using the AI-4510.
