HelpTest Code UAPR URINALYSIS REFLEX MICROSCOPIC EXAM AND CULTURE
Performing Laboratory
NorDx Laboratories
Useful For
Diagnosing and management of renal diseases, urinary tract infection, urinary tract neoplasms, systemic diseases, and inflammatory or neoplastic diseases adjacent to the urinary tract.
If leukocytes or protein are present in clinically significant amounts or if nitrite or occult blood are positive, or if appearance is not normal, the Urine Screen will be replaced by a “Urinalysis with Sediment” at an additional charge. In addition, if sediment shows > 10 WBC/hpf, a “Culture, Bacteria, Urine” will automatically be performed at an additional charge. Significant isolates reflex to organism identification and antibiotic susceptibility testing at an additional charge.
In some infected patients, microorganisms and WBCs are present in low concentrations and will not be detected by this test. When this occurs, the test will not reflex to culture.
