The urine is centrifuged and examined microscopically for WBC, RBC, crystals, casts, bacteria and yeast. Both dipstick and microscopic exam should be performed for patient populations with a high incidence of genitourinary tract disease. The protein test is based on a change in color of a ph indicator (e.g. tetrabromophenol blue) in the presence of varying concentrations of protein when the ph is held constant. The reagent pad contains the indicator and a buffer that holds the ph of the pad at approximately 3. Yellow indicates undetectable protein. The color of positive reactions ranges from yellow-green to green to green-blue. The accuracy of this test depends on having urine that is slightly acidic. Dipsticks can detect protein concentrations as low as 5 to 30 mg/dl. Urine protein concentrations are reported as 30, 100, 300, or 2000 mg/dl. The major cause of a false positive urine protein is a highly alkaline sample. False positive reactions can also be caused by contamination with quaternary ammonium compounds (zepharin, chlorhexidine) used to clean the skin for a clean catch urine. Excessive contact with urine may wash out the buffering system and lead to a false positive result. Confirmatory tests only need to be performed on those urine samples with positive protein and a ph of 7.5 or greater. Negative urine samples from pediatric patients under the age of one should be confirmed with a copper reduction method, such as Clinitest, to detect galactose or lactose. Confirmation only needs to be performed once on a patient. When cellular casts remain in the nephrons for some time before being flushed into the bladder, the cells may degenerate to a coarsely granular cast, later to a finely granular cast, and eventually, to a waxy cast. Granular and waxy casts are believed to be derived from renal tubular casts. Granular casts are non-specific and may be present in a variety of TEENney disorders. Waxy casts are associated with advanced TEENney disease and chronic TEENney failure. They are opaque, easy to see and have broken off ends, as well as notched parallel margins. Renal tubular epithelial cells filled with fat droplets are called oval fat bodies and are detected in the nephrotic syndrome. Renal tubular cells may also accumulate hemosiderin, which appears as coarse yellowbrown cytoplasmic granules. The granules stain blue with Prussian blue. They are detectable 2 to

2 blue with Prussian blue. They are detectable 2 to 3 days after intravascular hemolysis. Hyaline casts are composed primarily of a mucoprotein, which is called Tamm-Horsfall protein, and is secreted by cells lining the distal convoluted tubules. The factors that favor protein cast formation are low flow rate, high salt concentration, and low ph because these conditions favor protein precipitation. A few hyaline casts are normal, but all other casts need to be evaluated. Cast width is described as narrow (one to two RBCs in width), medium broad (three to four RBCs in width), or broad (five RBCs in width). Casts that form in the collecting tubules tend to be very broad and usually indicate end stage renal disease. WBCs (leukocytes) appear as round granular spheres about 14 µm in diameter (about twice the size of a red cell) and have a nucleus. Some WBCs in hypotonic urine appear larger because they have absorbed water and the cytoplasmic granules exhibit Brownian movement. These cells are called glitter cells. Uric acid crystals are only seen in acid urine and have a wide variety of forms including rhombic, four-sided plates, rosettes, wedges and lemon shapes. Needle shaped crystals of monosodium urate are rarely seen in urine. They usually appear yellow or redbrown and form in acid urine. Uric acid crystals are considered to be a normal constituent of urine. Large numbers may be seen with gout, increased cell turnover The ph of urine is an indication of the TEENney's ability to maintain a normal plasma ph. Metabolism produces acids that are excreted by the lungs and TEENneys. The average adult urine ph varies between 5 and 8. A diet high in protein produces a more acid urine, while a vegetarian diet often produces a ph greater than 6. Heavy bacterial growth may cause an alkaline shift in urine ph by converting urea to ammonia. Proteinuria can have many causes. Postural proteinuria occurs in 3 to 5% of healthy adults and is characterized by the presence of protein in the urine during the day but not the night. Strenuous exercise, fever, and exposure to extreme heat or cold, pregnancy, eclampsia, shock, and CHF cause functional proteinuria. Hematologic malignancies, such as multiple myeloma, may produce excess immunoglobulin that is excreted in the urine. Renal diseases are a common source of proteinuria. Red blood cells must be distinguished from yeast and fat droplets. Yeast often exhibit budding and fat droplets are highly refractile. Positive identification of red blood cells can be accomplished by adding 2% acetic acid to the urine sediment, which lyses red blood cells. Urinalysis begins with a macroscopic examination of the urine which describes the color and clarity of the urine. In healthy individuals urine color ranges from pale yellow to amber, depending on their state of hydration. Many factors affect urine color including fluid balance, diet, medications and disease. The following table includes a list of the most common causes of abnormal urine coloration. Glucosuria usually occurs when the blood glucose level exceeds 180 mg/dl. Glucosuria most commonly occurs in patients with diabetes, infections, myocardial infarction, liver disease, and obesity. Thiazides, corticosteroids, and birth control pills may precipitate glucosuria. Doxycycline, gentamicin and some

3 Doxycycline, gentamicin and some cephalosporins reduce the reactivity of leukocyte esterase and produce false negative results. Conversely, imipenem, meropenem, and clavulanic acid can cause false positive leukocyte esterase reactions. False positive results can be caused by colored substances in the urine (e.g. phenazopyridine) and prolonged specimen storage at room temperature that allows proliferation of contaminating bacteria. If urinalysis cannot be done within two hours after collection, specimens should be refrigerated to prevent bacterial growth. Under high power, unstained RBCs appear as pale, homogeneous, biconcave discs with no nucleus. They vary somewhat in size, but are usually about 7 microns in diameter. Red cells tumble when the fluid on the slide is set in motion. If the specimen is not fresh when it is examined, the cells will appear as faint, colorless circles (shadow or ghost cells) because the hemoglobin has leached out of the cell. In dilute urine, red cells absorb water, swell and lyse, releasing their hemoglobin and leaving only ghost cells. In urine with a very high specific gravity, the red cells become crenated, which may appear as spikes in the cell. In urine with a low specific gravity or with extreme ph, the cells may be lysed. Approximately 25% of urine specimens containing bacteria will have a positive protein reaction as the only positive dipstick reaction. The esterase reagent is sensitive to 15 leukocytes per hpf, but the protein reagent is sensitive to 6 leukocytes per hpf. Calcium pyrophosphate dehydrate crystals appear as rhomboids, rods or rectangles and tend to be small, measuring between 1 and 20 um. They are smaller than cholesterol crystals and lack the corner notch. They differ from monosodium urate in that they form very small rhomboids, short rods, or rectangles. With polarized light, they are weakly birefringent and appear yellow when aligned with the compensator axis. This polarization pattern is the opposite of monosodium urate crystals. They are associated with degenerative arthritis. A few WBCs can be found in normal centrifuged urine. Pyuria generally indicates an infectious or inflammatory process somewhere in the TEENney (pyelonephritis), bladder (cystitis) or urethra (urethritis). Clumps of WBCs should be noted because they can affect urine white cell count. Urinary casts are formed in the distal convoluted tubule or the collecting duct of the TEENney. Cast formation increases with stasis, increased protein excretion and lower ph. Three categories of casts may be seen: acellular, cellular, and mixed. The type and number of casts seen per low power field is reported. Pigmented urine can interfere with ph readings. Bacterial contaminants, blood in the urine and contamination by genital secretions can alter urine ph. Dipsticks use the nitroprusside reaction to test for acetoacetic acid. They are less sensitive to acetone and do not detect betahyroxybutyrate. The typical diabetic patient with ketoacidosis usually excretes 78% betahyroxybutyrate, 20% acetoacetate, and 2% acetone. The reaction of acetoacetic acid with nitroprusside results in the development of color ranging from buff pink to shades of purple. Color reactions are categorized as trace, small, moderate and large that correspond to ketone

4 moderate and large that correspond to ketone concentrations of 5, 15, 40 to 80 and 80 to 160 mg/dl of urine, respectively. Calcium oxalate crystals occur as the common dehydrate form and the less common monohydrate form. The dehydrate form appears as small colorless octahedrons. The monohydrate form is dumbbell-shaped or ovoid rectangles. Both forms are found in acid or neutral urine. They are seen more commonly in urine in individuals who eat foods rich in oxalic acide such as tomatoes, asparagus, oranges and rhubarb. Large numbers are associated with TEENney stone formation, severe chronic renal disease, ethylene glycol poisoning and methoxyflurane toxicity. They may also be increased in patients with Crohn's disease and after small bowel resection. The presence of increased numbers of eosinophils may be indicative of drug-induced interstitial nephritis. However, special staining procedures using Hansel's stain must be performed before the eosinophils can be reliably identified. When RBCs traverse an injured glomerular capillary they may undergo a change in morphology from biconcave disc to dysmorphic. Proliferative glomerulonephritis is suggested when more than 15% of urine RBCs are dysmorphic (specificity 85%, sensitivity 47%) or when acanthocytes constitute at least 10% of visualized RBCs (specificity 85%, sensitivity 42%). The absence of dysmorphic RBCs or acanthocytes does not rule out proliferative glomerulonephritis because sensitivities are only 47% and 42%, respectively. The dipstick test is based on a double enzyme method employing glucose oxidase and peroxidase. Color change ranges from green to brown. Small amounts of glucose (1000 mg/dl. This test is optimized to detect albumin and is less sensitive in detecting globulins. Dipsticks do not detect beta-2- microglobulin or immunoglobulin light chains. Standard urine dipsticks are much less sensitive at detecting urine albumin than other assays. Dipsticks do not detect microalbuminuria. The typical renal tubular cell casts are often described as hyaline matrix casts showing two rows of well-delimited tubular cells. However, the two row criterion is not reliable because WBC casts can also have this appearance. Renal tubular cells are difficult to identify in cellular casts. The cells are elongated or columnar and have large eccentric nuclei with sparse granular cytoplasm. Their presence indicates renal tubular damage. Dipstick testing is useful only when urinary protein exceeds 300 to 500 mg/day or albumin exceeds 10 to 20 mg/day. Most studies comparing the sensitivity of nitrite and leukocyte esterase tests compared to urine culture have demonstrated that leukocyte esterase is a more sensitive indicator of UTI than nitrite.. People with UTIs may also have pressure in the lower abdomen and small amounts of blood in the urine. If the UTI is more severe and/or has spread into the TEENneys, it may cause flank pain, high fever, shaking, chills, nausea or vomiting. The TEENneys are protected from infection by the ureterovesical valves that prevent reflux of urine from the bladder and the constant peristalsis of the ureters. Urine is the fluid that contains water and wastes and that is

5 produced by the TEENneys. It travels from the TEENneys, through tubes called ureters to the bladder, and then is eliminated from the body through the urethra. The urine culture is a test that detects and identifies bacteria and yeast in the urine, which may be causing a urinary tract infection (UTI). Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) and Cystitis (Bladder Infection) in Females. Definitions of UTI in women, based on culture results in clean-catch urine specimens, are as follows:. Clinicians may wish to limit use of TMP- SMX, to reduce the emergence of resistant organisms. Dedicated to Women's and TEENren's Well-being and Health Care Worldwide. The larger number of UTI's seen in women is due to the shorter urethra and the much closer association of the urethra to the anus. Sexual intercourse contributes to the increased number of UTI's seen in women. Celibate women have fewer UTI's. NIDDK: What I need to know about My TEEN's Urinary Tract Infection NHSN Patient Safety Component Manual [PDF 6M]. Most complicated UTIs are nosocomial in origin. Increasingly, UTIs in patients in health care institutions and in those with frequent antibiotic exposure are caused by multidrug-resistant gram-negative pathogens, such as extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL) and carbapenemase producers. However, the prevalence of multidrug-resistant pathogens varies by locale. Pregnant women- Between 2 and 10% of pregnancies are complicated by UTI's. If left untreated, 25 to 30% of these women develop pyelonephritis. Pregnancies that are complicated by pyelonephritis have been associated with lowbirth-weight infants and prematurity. Thus, pregnant women should be screened for bacteriuria by urine culture at 12 to 16 weeks of gestation. To minimize contamination, women should be instructed to spread the labia, wipe the periurethral area from front to back with clean, moistened gauze sponge and collect a midstream urine sample holding labia apart. In patients with physical disabilities, sometimes it not be feasible to obtain clean catch urine, catheterization can be done. Surveillance for Antimicrobial Use and Antimicrobial Resistance Options. [ 9 ] Eighty percent of nosocomial UTIs are related to urethral catheterization, while 5-10% are related to genitourinary manipulation. Catheters inoculate organisms into the bladder and promote colonization by providing a surface for bacterial adhesion and causing mucosal irritation. For more information on this topic, see the Medscape Reference article Catheter- Related Urinary Tract Infection. For more on how the urine culture is performed, see the " What is being tested? " section. People with TEENney disease or with other conditions that affect the TEENneys, such as diabetes or TEENney stones, and people with weakened immune systems may be more prone to frequent, repeated and/or complicated UTIs. Women are prone to urinary infections, especially before puberty and after the menopause. The main effect of infection on vesicourethral function is that 25% of the patients have uninhibited detrusor contractions with associated urethral relaxation. E. coli endotoxin causes these findings in many patients. In many patients urethral striated sphincteric spasm results, creating a vicious cycle of retention, obstructed

6 creating a vicious cycle of retention, obstructed voiding and repeated infection. The treatment is elimination of the infection by antimicrobial agents. Prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections is vital. Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?. CDC and CMS Issue Joint Reminder on NHSN Reporting. Pregnant women without any symptoms are recommended to be screened during the first trimester or first prenatal visit for bacteria in their urine, which could affect the health of the developing baby. Current emphasis in the diagnosis of UTI rests with the detection of pyuria, as follows:. Point of care diagnosis of UTI While the gold standard for UTI diagnosis is bacterial culture of the urine, dipstick urinalysis is commonly used in point-of-care diagnosis. In some clinical settings such as with infants, leukocyte esterase (LE) and pyuria (by dipstick analysis) have a very high sensitivity and specificity for UTI (>90% as defined by the culture of a uropathogen from urine with >100,000 colony forming units (CFU) per ml) [ 2, 3 ]. However, in contexts such as pregnancy, dipstick analysis using LE, pyuria, or presence of nitrites is less reliable as an indication of UTI per the microbiological definition of 10 5 CFU/ml cutoff [ 4, 5 ]. While dipstick urinalysis that is positive for LE and/or nitrites in a clean-catch urine sample is consistent with a UTI diagnosis, these tests can miss UTIs that meet the gold standard of bacteriuria diagnosis in relation to adverse outcomes in pregnancy (e.g. the microbiological 10 5 CFU/ml definition). One likely explanation is that nitrite tests are likely to be negative if the infecting organism does not reduce nitrate, as is the case for most Grampositive uropathogens including S. saprophyticus, enterococci, and group B Streptococcus [ 6, 7 ]. Given the higher prevalence of Gram-positive bacteria as causes of UTI in certain populations such as the elderly, it is perhaps not surprising that some studies conclude that LE and nitrite are inadequate for UTI screening in this setting [ 8 ]. In short, while dipstick urinalyses can help to quickly identify UTI caused by Gram-negative bacteria, they are less useful for infections involving Gram-positive uropathogens and perform poorly in ruling out these infections with certainty.. Proteinuria can have many causes. Postural proteinuria occurs in 3 to 5% of healthy adults and is characterized by the presence of protein in the urine during the day but not the night. Strenuous exercise, fever, and exposure to extreme heat or cold, pregnancy, eclampsia, shock, and CHF cause functional proteinuria.

Lymphocytes in the urine cannot be clearly identified without the use of a Wright's or Papanicolaou stain. The presence of lymphocytes may be seen in renal transplant rejection, inflammatory processes, and other disorders. RBC casts contain numerous orangered erythrocytes or unpigmented ghost RBC embedded within a hyaline matrix. The unpigmented form is more frequent and can often be recognized by its hemoglobin pigmentation. RBC casts are usually accompanied by the presence of free RBCs in the sediment. RBC casts are frequently found in glomerulonephritis. Occasionally, they may be seen in individuals playing contact sports. In the latter situation, the urine usually returns to normal within 24 to 48 hours. Fava beans, Levodopa, metronidazole (Flagyl), nitrofurantoin, anti-malarial drugs.. Quietly do what they were told.
