Predicting urine culture results by dipstick testing and phase contrast microscopy
Pathology, 2003Urine is the most frequently received clinical specimen for bacterial culture. To determine whether dipstick or microscopy results reliably predicted the presence or absence of a reportable urinary pathogen we performed dipstick testing and phase contrast microscopy on unspun urine from 500 specimens.

Comparison of test characteristics of urine dipstick and urinalysis at various test cutoff points
Annals of Emergency Medicine, 2001We compare the test characteristics of urine dipstick and urinalysis at various test cutoff points in women presenting to emergency departments and an intermediate care center with symptoms of urinary tract infection.This was a prospective, observational study of adult women presenting to 1 of 2 community hospital EDs or an intermediate care center ...

Urine testing through the use of dipstick analysis
British Journal of Healthcare Assistants, 2011Assessment of a patient's urine using reagent dipsticks is a commonly performed health assessment undertaken by support workers. While the practical performance of the test is relatively straightforward, interpreting the results of urine analysis is more complicated. This article outlines the most common tests that are performed on urine using reagent

Proteinuria and renal disease: prognostic value of urine dipstick testing for leukocytes
Pediatric Nephrology, 2006Proteinuria is utilized to screen for underlying kidney disease and serves as a marker of disease progression. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that patients with proteinuria will have a higher frequency of urine dipstick positive for leukocytes as an index of noninfectious renal inflammation. In this retrospective analysis, 1,099 urine

Urine dipstick testing to rule out rhabdomyolysis in patients with suspected heat injury
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2009Heat injury is a common, potentially life-threatening medical condition. In austere or mass-casualty conditions an easy to use, sensitive screening test could be a valuable tool to care providers and evacuation planners.The objective of the study was to determine if a simple urine dipstick test for blood is sensitive for detection of rhabdomyolysis in ...

Performance of a urine dipstick test in detecting proteinuric dogs
2011Background: In clinical practice the detection of proteinuria in dogs relies on protein determination by urine dipstick tests. However, to confirm results and to quantify proteinuria, urine must be sent to external laboratories for protein:creatinine ratio (UPC) assessment.
