概括
识别尿路感染 (UTI) 的最佳白细胞计数为30-50细胞/μL,高于传统的10细胞/μL截止值. 这一发现可以改善诊断,减少对尿路感染不必要的抗生素使用.
科学领域:
- 泌尿器科 泌尿器科 泌尿器科 泌尿器科
- 传染性疾病 传染性疾病
- 临床微生物学 临床微生物学
背景情况:
- 在诊断尿路感染 (UTI) 时,传统的发烧症值通常为每微升10个白细胞 (WBC).
- 这种截止值可能不准确地反映出临床意义上的尿路感染,可能导致过度诊断或诊断不足,特别是在特定的患者群体.
研究的目的:
- 确定最佳的白细胞计数值,以识别成年人临床显著的尿路感染.
- 评估不同白细胞计数值的诊断准确性,与已确认的尿路感染相关.
主要方法:
- 一项回顾性队列研究分析了来自皇家墨尔本医院的6328个尿样.
- 尿路感染是由症状和尿病原体隔离 (>10^7 CFU/L) 定义的.
- 局部加权散射图平滑估计了白细胞计数,尿病原体生长和尿路感染概率之间的关系.
主要成果:
- 在<10 WBCs/μL下,38%的样本生长了微生物,但只有2%符合尿路感染标准.
- 尿路感染识别的最佳WBC范围是30-50个WBC/μL,平衡敏感性 (92.3%-94.9%) 和特异性 (41.6%-47.2%).
- 该研究证实尿路感染的数量比预期的要少,可能是由于培养指示或样本类型不合适.
结论:
- 诊断尿路感染的最佳尿白细胞计数截止值高于通常使用的10 WBCs/μL值.
- 实施更高的WBC切断值可以增强尿液培养处理协议并提高诊断准确性.

Disorders of the Urinary System
208
The urinary system is responsible for eliminating waste and excess fluids from the body. However, disorders of the urinary system can arise due to various reasons like infections, stress, age, congenital abnormalities, and lifestyle.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common urinary system disorders. They are caused by bacteria that enter the urethra and can spread to the bladder resulting in cystitis. Pyelonephritis is the result of a UTI that has ascended to the level of the...

Physiology of Urine Formation
2.6K
Urine formation is an essential function of the human body. It plays a critical role in maintaining homeostasis by regulating the volume and composition of body fluids. The kidneys, the primary organs involved in this process, filter blood to remove waste products and excess substances, ultimately producing urine.
Glomerular Filtration
The first stage in urine formation is glomerular filtration. Each kidney contains approximately 1 million nephrons, the functional units of filtration, with a...

Sexually Transmitted Infections
256
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases transmitted primarily through unsafe sexual interactions. Bacteria, viruses, or parasites cause them and can result in severe health complications if untreated.ChlamydiaThe bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis is responsible for the disease Chlamydia, the most common STI in the United States. This peculiar pathogen requires human cells to reproduce, residing intracellularly. The initial infection often goes unnoticed because it typically does not...

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection
10.7K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Urinary Bladder
307
The urinary bladder is a hollow, muscular sac that temporarily stores urine before it is expelled from the body. It can hold approximately 600 mL of urine prior to micturition. The bladder is retroperitoneal and located behind the pubic symphysis in the pelvic floor.
In males, the bladder is situated in front of the rectum, while in females, it is positioned anterior to the vagina and uterus. The bladder floor contains an inverted triangular area called the trigone, defined by the two ureteric...

Ureters
301
The ureters are retroperitoneal tubes located on either side of the vertebral column. They are responsible for transporting urine from each kidney to the urinary bladder. These tubes have thick walls and are approximately 25-30 cm long. Their diameter is around 10 mm at the renal pelvis, gradually narrowing to 1 mm as the ureter obliquely enters the posterior bladder wall through the ureteric orifices. The shape of these orifices is slit-like, which helps to prevent urine backflow toward the...
