The origin of visual urine diagnostics, the pldose method of examining body fluids, can be tracked back ta oancient Egypt, where polyuria and hematuria are mentioned as states of disease in old medical papyri. Hippocrates (ca.400 BC) observed certain cahnges in the odour and colour of urine in the peresence of fever, and pointed out the importance of examining the patient's urine. The Indian physician Caraca (ca.100 AD) described ten pathological kinds of urine, includes urines that contianed sugar and bacteria.
No medical teaching of the past was, however, so important, and none had such lasting influence, as that of Caludius Galenus of Pergamum, also known as Galen, who in the second century AD combined the medicine of his day, divided into a number of groups, into one major system with his doctrine of humoral pathology: "it is not solid organs that are the seat of disease but the four bodyfluids or humours: blood, phlegm, black bile, and choler or yellow bile.
