Tract Infections

A positive dipstick urinalysis (i.e., leukocyte esterase test and/or nitrite test) did not reliably detect significant bacteriuria in 479 ambulatory women with suspected uncomplicated urinary tract infection; 18.9% of the urine samples that demonstrated significant bacteriuria would have been rejected by the laboratory based on a negative urinalysis screen.

Tract Infections

Haematuria is the presence of blood in the urine. Haematuria may be either macroscopic (frank haematuria) or detectable only on urine dipstick (microscopic haematuria). Frank haematuria can appear quite dramatic and usually leads patients in the community to seek medical attention. The high incidence of urinary tract infections as an underlying cause means that patients often have associated dysuria and frequency. Significant haematuria can lead to clot formation in the urinary tract and obstruction. The resulting symptoms are equivalent to those from obstruction due to stones. Microscopic haematuria is usually noted as an incidental finding. This chapter covers the approach to diagnosis, diagnostic tests, therapy, and prognosis.
