Subject: Urinalysis--patient had "squames"???
I looked this up and found a definition for "squame" meaning a flake or scale of skin. Can this be in a urinalysis? Or would it more likely be "squamous" cells as in squamous epithelial cells? This doctor is driving me nuts tonight and he's not even ESL. Give me an Antonio Banderas sound-alike any time....

Doctor is reading lab results for a patient with unexplained eosinophilia and iron deficiency anemia. "Urinalysis does not have [amocidrin/amocytherin/emocidrin?]" I've gotten so used to this doc I haven't been stumped in awhile, but I can't get this one. Probably because I'm so tired! Thanks for any ideas.
