Detection of significant bacteriuria by automated urinalysis using flow cytometry.
A new flow cytometry-based automated urine analyzer, the UF-50, was evaluated for its ability to screen urine samples for significant bacteriuria. One hundred eighty-six urine specimens from patients attending an outpatient clinic of a university-based hospital were examined. The results obtained with the UF-50 were compared with those obtained by conventional quantitative urine culture. The UF...
متن کاملAutomated flow cytometry compared with an automated dipstick reader for urinalysis.
Recently, the Sysmex UF-100 flow cytometer was developed to automate urinalysis. We compared UF-100 test results with those of an automated dipstick reader. A cross-check of UF-100, dipstick, and microscopic sediment data was performed in 1001 urine samples. Good agreements (P <0.001) were obtained between UF-100 and dipstick data for erythrocytes (r = 0.636) and leukocytes (r = 0.785). Even in...
متن کاملThe comparison of automated urine analyzers with manual microscopic examination for urinalysis automated urine analyzers and manual urinalysis
OBJECTIVES Urinalysis is one of the most commonly performed tests in the clinical laboratory. However, manual microscopic sediment examination is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and lacks standardization in high-volume laboratories. In this study, the concordance of analyses between manual microscopic examination and two different automatic urine sediment analyzers has been evaluated. DESIGN...
متن کاملAutomated Flow Cytometry: An Alternative to Urine Culture in a Routine Clinical Microbiology Laboratory?
The urine culture is the "gold standard" for the diagnosis of urinary tract infections (UTI) but constitutes a significant workload in the routine clinical laboratory. Due to the high percentage of negative results, there is a need for an efficient screening method, with a high negative predictive value (NPV) that could reduce the number of unnecessary culture tests. With the purpose of improvi...
متن کاملFlow cytometry in the clinical laboratory.
This issue of the eJIFCC is dedicated to highlight some aspects of clinical flow cytometry. In the past 50 years several techniques have revolutionized laboratory medicine. Undoubtedly flow cytometry is one of those, with a substantial impact on diagnosing and monitoring diseases in laboratory hematology, hemostasis and immunology. The development in flow technology also exerted a considerable ...
