Questions and Answers

Urinalysis encompasses all the analytical tests carried out on a urine sample. It usually involves three forms of analysis: 1. Physical - Assessment of the color, cloudiness and concentration of the urine 2. Chemical - Examination of the chemical constituents of the urine using a test strip 3. Microscopic – this allows one to look for bacteria, cells and cell fragments 4. Culture AND sensitivity test

Urinalysis (UA) by dipstick is used as a screening and/or diagnostic tool to detect substances or cellular material in the urine associated with metabolic disorders, renal dysfunction or urinary tract infections (UTI). These strips change color when they touch some specific substances. Nitrates is used for detection of UTI Nitrates are produced by certain bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, that are commonly associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs)(Urinary bladder and. These bacteria convert nitrate (NO3-) to nitrite (NO2-) as part of their metabolic process. Nitrite can then be detected in urine through a simple test.

  • Microscopic analysis allows for the detection of bacteria, cells, and cell fragments.

Dipstick Urinalysis

  • Urinalysis by dipstick is used as a screening and/or diagnostic tool to detect substances or cellular material in the urine.
  • It is used to detect metabolic disorders, renal dysfunction, or urinary tract infections (UTIs).
  • The test strip changes color when it touches specific substances.

Nitrite Test

  • Nitrates are produced by certain bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, that are commonly associated with UTIs.
  • These bacteria convert nitrate (NO3-) to nitrite (NO2-) as part of their metabolic process.
  • Nitrite can be detected in urine through a simple test, which is used to detect UTIs.

Culture and Sensitivity Test

  • Culture and sensitivity test is used to detect and identify bacteria in the urine.
