Urine Microscopy and Culture (UTI)
Short Description
The Urine Microscopy and Culture test examines kidney health and helps to diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs).
Long Description
A sample of your urine is examined under the microscope and cultured for 18 hours, looking specifically for blood cells, pus cells and casts (the cells and mucous that accumulate in the kidney before passing into the urine). This test pin-points protein, a sure sign that there is either kidney damage or disease. A culture is made to look for infection and, if present, to help identify the type of antibiotic that will eradicate it.
Special Instructions
Wait 7 days from finishing antibiotics course before taking sample.
