Stain used on urine sample prior to in-house microscopy was contaminated by bacteria. Creatinine is a by-product of muscle metabolism. However, if kidney function is compromised and the kidneys are producing dilute urine, then even small amounts of urinary protein loss may be abnormal and should be investigated. 0000087611 00000 n
In situations where the clinical history is suggestive of urinary tract infection or an active urine sediment is present, urine culture should be considered even in the absence of bacteriuria on urinalysis. If the SediVue Dx analyzer reports that a specimen is positive for bacteria and the culture result from the laboratory says negative, it is possible that both are correct.
