What does pyelonephritis examine

summary

Before, because I always felt uncomfortable with my stomach, and I always wanted to urinate, but I couldn't urinate every time. I always felt frequent urination and urgency. Later, there was edema, so I went to the hospital to have an examination, and then I knew that I had pyelonephritis. Now let's share what to check for pyelonephritis.

What does pyelonephritis examine

First, urine routine 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. Urine cytology examination, clean middle urine culture colony count > 10 / ml has clinical significance.

Second, the determination of urinary C-reactive protein, with the level of C-reactive protein (CRP) every other day during the course of the disease is helpful to estimate the curative effect, that is, CRP shows effective at a glance, rising shows ineffective. CRP did not increase in acute cystitis. However, CRP may also be elevated in other infectious diseases, and the presence of false positive affects the positioning significance of the test.

Third: direct positioning method. In the direct method, Stamey's ureteral catheter method has high accuracy, but it must be checked by cystoscopy or percutaneous puncture of renal pelvis with skinny needle, so it is not commonly used for traumatic examination. Fairley's urine culture method after bladder washing and sterilization has high accuracy, is simple and easy to operate, and is commonly used in clinic.
