A urinalysis is a test of your urine. It is used to detect and manage a wide range of disorders, such as urinary tract infections, kidney disease and diabetes.
A urine culture test can identify bacteria or yeast causing a urinary tract infection (UTI). If bacteria multiply, an antibiotic sensitivity test can identify the antibiotic most likely to kill those particular bacteria.
Most people especially women will suffer from e coli once in their lifetime because it is common to get urinary tract infections through sexual intercourse or risk of bacteria entering the bladder.
During UTI tests the urine is examined under a microscope for bacteria or white blood cells, which are signs of infection. Your doctor may also suggest a urine culture. This test examines urine to detect and identify bacteria and yeast, which may be causing a UTI.
A blood culture test helps your doctor figure out if you have a kind of infection that is in your bloodstream and can affect your entire body.
