    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Clinical Chemistry
    • Medical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Pyuria, the presence of white blood cells in urine, signifies inflammation within the urinary tract.
    • Early detection of urinary tract inflammation is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment of associated diseases.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic performance of the Cytur-Test, a test strip designed for detecting white blood cells in urine.
    • To compare the results of the Cytur-Test with quantitative white blood cell concentration measurements.

    Main Methods:

    • The Cytur-Test was used to analyze 100 consecutive urine samples.
    • Results from the Cytur-Test were compared against quantitative white blood cell counts obtained through standard laboratory methods.

    Main Results:

    • The Cytur-Test demonstrated simplicity, rapidity, and ease of reading.
    • The test exhibited a low false positive rate and an acceptable false negative rate for detecting significant pyuria.

    Conclusions:

    • The Cytur-Test is a valuable tool for screening patients for urinary tract diseases.
    • Combining the Cytur-Test with tests for protein, blood, and glucose can enhance its utility in comprehensive urinalysis.
