To 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...
متن کاملEvaluation 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 کاملPerformance Characteristics of Dipstick and Microscopic Urinalysis for Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Infection
Aim: Although the urine culture is used as the reference standard to determine presence or absence of urinary tract infection, the culture is an expensive and time-consuming method. The objectives of the study were to compare dipstick urinalysis with microscopic urinalysis and to compare dipstick and microscopic urinalysis results with urine culture results, by calculating performance character...
متن کاملDiagnosis Of Urinary Tract Infection Using Standard Urinalysis Or Hemocytometer Leukocyte Count
Background and Objective: This study was undertaken to assess the ability of standard urinalysis (UA) and hemocytometer white blood cell (WBC) counts for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection (UTI) in patients with urinary symptoms. Materials and Methods: A total of 600 patients with symptoms of urina...
