Evaluation of urinalysis parameters to predict urinary-tract infection.
We evaluated the performance of automated-flow cytometry, urinalysis dipsticks and microscopic urine sediment analysis as predictors of urinary tract infection. Urine cultures were used as a reference method for comparison. Six-hundred-seventy-five urine samples from hospitalized and not hospitalized patients attended at Hospital Mãe de Deus, Porto Alegre, in south Brazil, were included in the ...
متن کاملLaboratory Evaluation of Urinalysis Parameters to Predict Urinary Tract Infection
We evaluated the performance of urinalysis dipsticks and microscopic urine sediment analysis as predictors of urinary tract infection (UTI) in patient visiting hospital. The samples were processed for macroscopic examination to observe Leukocyte esterase (LE) and Nitrite (NIT) by dipstick method, microscopic examination to observe pus cells, culture of urine sample on Blood agar and MacConkey a...
متن کاملDetection of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and Asymptomatic Bacteriuria using Urinalysis Parameters, a Review
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a common occurrence and are a unique pathology as they have a variable presentation [1]. The principal presentations include asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB), acute cystitis, and pyelonephritis [2]. The focus of this review was on asymptomatic bacteriuria. Asymptomatic bacteriuria is defined as the presence of bacteria in urine without any symptoms of a urinary ...
متن کاملCommunity study of urinary pH and osmolality.
In a previous communication (Asscher, Sussman, Waters, Davis, and Chick, 1966), it was shown that urine obtained from females supports the growth of E. coli, the commonest urinary pathogen, better than that from males. This difference was dependent on a sex difference in urinary pH and osmolality, the urines of females being significantly more often at suitable pH and osmolality for the growth ...
متن کاملTo Determine Association and Assessment between Urinary Tract Infection and Urodynamic Examination Based on Urinalysis Results
Aim: To determine risk factors for urinary tract infection (UTI) after urodynamic examination by evaluating patients' clinical characteristics and urodynamic parameters. Methods: Two hundred and sixty-one female patients (mean age 58.7±12.3 yrs) from May to December 2011 visited tertiary care hospital who had lower urinary tract symptoms or needed definite diagnosis before pelvic floor reconstr...
