Penilaian Hasil Dipstik Urine (Nitrit Dan Leukosit Esterase) Sebagai Prediktor Bakteriuria

Bacteriuria is the leading indicator of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), which detected through urine culture examination. Significant bacteriuria indicates growth microorganisms as much ≥ 100,000 cfu/ml in culture. There are drawbacks to this examination that requires a screening test with short time and lower cost. This study aimed determine differences results nitrite leukocyte esterase using dipstick predictor bacteriuria. The type research used analytic an experimental approach. sample was ten samples urine. Based on bivariate analysis results, p-value 0.541, means there no difference presence leukocytes can be indication for obtained 0.000, between shows nitrites cannot indicate However data sensitivity specificity still low tests. However, detect UTI option faster screening. Keywords : esterase, nitrites,
