Clinical urine analysis gives
preliminary information about: concentration ability of the kidneys(density of urine),disorder of filtration ability (excretionof protein with urine),
possibility of inflammatory process(considerable levels of leucocytes anderythrocytes)

Diabetes .anamnesis and complaints (in most casesthe patients report themselves that theyhave diabetes)
blood sugar analysis (N=3.3-5.5mmole/l).If there is diabetes or blood sugar is

lassification of surgical risksSomatically healthy people havingscheduled surgery (herniotomy,scraping of uterine cavity, diagnosticprocedures).Patients with completely compensatedpathology of inner organs having minor
surgery.Somatically healthy patients havingmore serious surgery likecholecystectomy.

lassification of surgical risksPatients with completely compensated pathology of inner organs having serious extensive surgery(stomach resection, surgery on large intestine,chest surgery).
Patients with partially compensated pathology of inner organs having minor or medium surgery.Patients with a combination of profound somaticdisorders (acute or chronic ones caused, for
example, by myocardial infarction, trauma, shock,massive hemorrhage, peritonitis, sepsis,intoxication) having urgent surgery.

Preparation of respiratory organs.
Smoking should be dropped for at least 2-3weeks before surgery.If the patient stops smoking on the eve of surgery, the secretion of bronchial treeincreases.
As the patient has difficulty expectorating
the sputum, the infected phlegm isaspirated into deeper parts of bronchialtree which can cause postoperativepneumonia.

Mendelsons syndrome
If the contents of stomach cannot beevacuated for some reason, thesurgical risk raises by two points.It is important because duringanesthesia muscles relax and gastriccontents can flow into thestomatopharynx and then beaspirated into the trachea.
