Urinary Tract Infection Test

Leucocytes and Nitrites (UTI): Normal urine specimens generally yield negative results for leukocytes and nitrites; positive results of small (+) or greater are clinically significant. Individually observed 'Trace' results may be of questionable clinical significance; however, 'Trace' results observed repeatedly may be clinically significant. 'Positive' results may occasionally be found with random specimens from females due to contamination of the specimen by vaginal discharge. The presence of leukocytes in urine is referred to as pyuria (pus in the urine). The presence of nitrites in urine indicate the presence of bacteria. Primary cause: urinary tract infection, Prostatitis. The URS-UTI test is a single use, prepackaged urinalysis test kit containing one urine reagent strip for the detection of leukocytes and nitrites in urine indicating possible urinary tract infection. As with all preliminary screening urinalysis tests, a specific diagnosis should not be made without further evaluation by a healthcare professional
