Order UTI TestA UTI test is a laboratory evaluation used to detect a urinary tract infection, a common condition caused by bacteria entering the urinary system. The test typically examines a urine sample for signs of infection, such as white blood cells, bacteria, or nitrites.
About UTI Test in Wake Forest
Urinary tract infections occur when microorganisms, most often bacteria, multiply within the bladder, urethra, or kidneys.
A UTI test generally begins with a urinalysis, which assesses the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of a urine sample. Chemical dipsticks can reveal nitrites produced by certain bacteria and leukocyte esterase, an enzyme released by white blood cells.
If initial findings suggest infection, the laboratory may perform a urine culture. In a culture, the sample is placed on a medium that encourages bacterial growth, allowing technicians to identify the specific organism and, when needed, determine which antibiotics are likely to be effective.
Results are reported as either negative or positive, often with details about the type of bacteria detected and the presence of blood or pus components. A negative result does not always rule out infection, and a positive result may reflect contamination if the sample was not collected cleanly.
