Profile of urinary tract infections | Laboratory research

General Information

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the urinary tract, which includes the urethra, bladder, and kidneys. The most common type of urinary tract infection (UTI) is infectious cystitis, which is caused by a bacterial infection of the bladder. Pyelonephritis is an infection of the kidneys, often caused by an ascending bacterial infection.

For the diagnostics of urinary tract infection, we offer: Urinary tract infection profile, which includes:

• General blood test
• Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - EDS (ESR)
• General analysis of urine
• Microscopic examination of urine
• Urine culture (bacteriological examination)

General blood test  Used to assess general health and identify urinary tract infections

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate - EDS (ESR) Increased EDS is a reliable sign of the presence of infectious and inflammatory processes in the body.

General analysis of urine A comprehensive study that determines the general characteristics of urine – color, density, transparency, pH, components

Microscopic examination of urine Qualitative and quantitative determination of inorganic substances and blood cells - erythrocytes, leukocytes, and cells lining the urinary tract.

Urine culture (bacteriological examination) Within the normal range, urine is free of microflora. Bacteriological examination evaluates the presence of both pathogenic and conditionally pathogenic flora. If necessary, an antibiogram is performed.

When should we conduct an examination?

1. For symptoms of urinary tract infections
2. During repeated infections
3. For preoperative evaluation
4. During pregnancy
5. In the presence of unusual symptoms, such as abdominal pain, discharge, etc.
