Urinalysis Result Interpretation

Examples include the presence of blood, bacteria, or high levels of glucose or protein in the urine, which could indicate conditions such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease, or diabetes.

A urine culture result is positive if it shows bacterial growth, indicating an infection. The type and quantity of bacteria will guide treatment options, such as antibiotics.

To diagnose a UTI, check for the presence of nitrites, leukocyte esterase, and white blood cells in the urine. These indicators suggest bacterial infection in the urinary tract.
