summary

My colleague asked me to accompany him for pyelonephritis examination at the weekend, but both of us didn't know about this specific examination item, so we specially consulted some friends of related majors, and now let's share it with friends in need.

What does pyelonephritis need to check

First, urine routine examination: this examination is the most simple and reliable method to detect urinary tract infection. It is advisable to leave urine for the first time in the morning to be tested. If there are more than 5 white blood cells (> 5 / HP) in each high power field, it is called pyuria. So if you want to do this examination, it's best to go to the hospital early in the morning when you don't urinate.

Second, urine cytology: previously, it was considered that the colony count of clean midstream urine culture was more than 105 / ml, which had clinical significance, while the colony count of clean midstream urine culture was less than 104 / ml, which was caused by pollution.

In theory, acute and chronic pyelonephritis are often accompanied by dysfunction of renal tubular concentration function, which may be related to prostaglandins produced by damaged medulla. The application of prostaglandin synthesis inhibitor (indomethacin) can block this phenomenon, and the renal tubular concentration function can be restored after clearance of infection. Bilateral infection is more sensitive than unilateral infection However, this test is not sensitive enough, so it can not be used as a routine.
