Vietnamese term or phrase: xet nghiem soi tuoi tren nuoc tieu
I have a translation which has no tones, so I am having some difficulty with the VN terms. I know it is "test/examination of ... in the urine" but I am not sure about "soi tuoi".

Even if you can only give me the correct Vietnamese spelling, that will be a help.

Asker: You should not cast aspersions on the abilities of others, since your English is clearly too poor to understand the concept of the request, you obviously do not comprehend the fact that whether I know the compound noun is bound of free is entirely irrelevent!

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Linh, but "on-stage" is not appropriate in medical English for this context. You are correct about urinalysis though.

microscopic (saline) wetmount examination of urine specimen


Explanation:
Minh Tran is right: it is soi tươi (not " soi tuoi " )

" xét nghiệm soi tươi " usually involved microscopic examination of the specimen. The specimen in this case is urine. In order to do a microscopic examination, the specimen has to be freshly obtained, then usually mixed in saline buffer for preservation and "wet-mounted" for analysis.

"wet-mount" means the specimen is freshly mounted on a microscopic slide for examination under a microscope. In other word, it is similar to " real time" analysis ==> what you see is what you get, live and well ( usually the doctor tries to detect Candida or other yeast infections, live under the microscope ).

You may also say : "wetmount examination of urine specimen", but I prefer adding " microscopic " to be precise because "soi tươi" does involve microscopy observation and analysis.
