Order UTI TestA urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common reasons people seek medical care, and laboratory testing plays a central role in confirming the diagnosis and guiding treatment. The UTI Panel evaluates a urine specimen for signs of infection, including the presence of bacteria, white blood cells, and other markers that the body produces when the urinary tract is inflamed.
About UTI Test in Chico
The UTI Panel combines a urinalysis with, when indicated, a urine culture to detect and characterize infection in the urinary tract.
A standard urinalysis examines the chemical and microscopic properties of urine. It screens for nitrites, which certain bacteria produce, and leukocyte esterase, an enzyme released by white blood cells. Microscopic review can reveal bacteria, red blood cells, and squamous epithelial cells that may indicate contamination of the sample.
If the urinalysis suggests infection, a urine culture may be performed. In a culture, a small volume of urine is placed on a medium that encourages bacterial growth. After an incubation period, any organisms that grow are identified and, in some cases, tested against antibiotics to determine which drugs are likely to be effective.
Results are typically reported as negative or positive for infection, with additional detail such as the type of bacteria identified and, when susceptibility testing is done, a list of antibiotics to which the organism is sensitive or resistant. This information helps clinicians select an appropriate treatment and recognize when a repeat test or further evaluation may be warranted.
