About UTI Test in Altadena
The UTI test examines a urine specimen for signs of bacterial infection and other abnormalities that can point to inflammation in the urinary tract.
A urine sample is first evaluated with a urinalysis, which checks for markers such as white blood cells, nitrites, and leukocyte esterase. These findings help indicate whether an infection is likely present.
If infection is suspected, a urine culture may be performed. In a culture, the sample is incubated to allow any bacteria to grow, which can confirm the infection and identify the specific organism.
When bacteria are identified, a sensitivity panel may be added to determine which antibiotics are likely to be effective against that organism. Results are reported as positive or negative for infection, with organism and sensitivity details when a culture is ordered.
