🧪 1. Urine Culture & Sensitivity (Urine C/S)
🧪 2. Urine Complete Examination (Urine Routine + Microscopy)
These two urine tests are often used together to evaluate infections, kidney health, and urinary tract conditions.
🚻 1. Urine Culture & Sensitivity (Urine C/S)
Purpose | Detects and identifies bacteria or fungi in urine, and determines the best antibiotics to treat the infection |
|---|---|
Fasting Required? | ❌ No |
Sample Type | Midstream clean-catch urine sample (sterile container) |
Used For | Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), pyelonephritis, prostatitis, recurrent or complicated urinary issues |
Organs Involved | Kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra |
Typical Duration | 24–72 hours (for organism growth and sensitivity pattern) |
🔍 Interpretation:
- No Growth: No infection detected.
- Growth of a single organism: Likely true infection; sensitivity testing performed.
- Mixed growth/contaminated sample: May need repeat sample.
🧪 Further Diagnostics If Positive:
- CBC (for WBC count)
- Serum creatinine, BUN (if kidney infection suspected)
- Ultrasound KUB or CT abdomen (in recurrent or complicated cases)
💧 2. Urine Complete Examination (Urine Routine + Microscopy)
Purpose | Screens for physical, chemical, and microscopic abnormalities in urine |
|---|---|
Fasting Required? | ❌ No |
Sample Type | Midstream clean-catch urine (non-sterile container is acceptable) |
Used For | General health screening, kidney function, infections, metabolic disorders |
Organs Involved | Kidneys, bladder, ureters, urethra |
🔍 Components:
Category | Parameters Checked |
|---|---|
Physical | Color, clarity, specific gravity, volume |
Chemical (dipstick) | pH, protein, glucose, ketones, nitrite, leukocyte esterase, bilirubin, urobilinogen |
Microscopy | RBCs, WBCs, pus cells, epithelial cells, crystals, casts, bacteria, yeast |
🧪 What Abnormal Results Suggest:
Finding | Possible Indication |
|---|---|
Proteinuria | Kidney disease (nephrotic syndrome) |
WBCs, nitrites | UTI |
RBCs | Stones, infection, trauma, glomerulonephritis |
Crystals | Kidney stones |
Glucose, ketones | Diabetes |
Casts | Renal tubular damage or glomerulonephritis |
🧪 Follow-Up Tests Based on Abnormal Findings:
- Blood Sugar / HbA1c (if glucose/ketones present)
- Renal Function Tests (Creatinine, BUN, eGFR)
- Imaging (Ultrasound KUB)
- Urine C/S (if infection suspected)
✅ Summary Comparison
Feature | Urine C/S | Urine Complete |
|---|---|---|
Infection Detection | ✅ Yes – identifies exact organism | ✅ Yes – suggests, but doesn’t confirm |
Antibiotic Sensitivity | ✅ Yes | ❌ No |
Kidney Health Check | ❌ No | ✅ Yes (e.g., protein, casts, crystals) |
Result Time | 48–72 hours | Same day (few hours) |
Sample Container | Sterile | Non-sterile |
