Question 1

When interpreting a urinalysis, which 2 substances are the most sensitive indicator for urinary tract infection?

a) blood and protein

Answer 1

Leucocytes and nitrites

Normal urine contains chemicals called nitrates. If bacteria enter the urinary tract, nitrates can turn into different, similarly named chemicals called nitrites. Nitrites in urine may be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI).

Leukocytes in your urine could be a sign that you have an infection or an obstruction in your urinary tract or bladder.
