Application Value of Urine Dry Chemistry Combined with Urine Sedimen-toscopy for Detecting Leukocytes in Patients with Urinary Tract Infections
Objective To investigate the application value of urine dry chemistry combined with urine sedimentos-copy to detect leukocytes in patients with urinary tract infection.Methods A total of 102 patients with suspected uri-nary tract infection admitted to Macheng People's Hospital from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected as the study objects.White blood cells were detected in all patients by urine dry chemical test and urine sludge scopy test.The positive results of white blood cells in patients with urinary tract infection were compared between urine dry chemical test alone,urine sludge scopy alone and the combined detection of the two methods.The of bacterial cul-ture test was used as the gold standard.The diagnostic efficacy of urine dry chemical test alone,urine sediment scopy test alone and the combined detection of the two methods were analyzed for white blood cell test in patients with urinary tract infection.Results The positive detection rates of urine dry chemistry,urine sediment microscopy and combined testing were 44.12%,43.14%and 48.04%,respectively.The sensitivity for leukocyte testing in pa-tients with urinary tract infection were 80.00%,72.00%,90.00%and the specificity were 90.38%,84.62%,92.31%,respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of leukocyte test in patients with urinary tract infection by combined urine dry chemistry and urine sedimentoscopy were higher than those of the test alone.Conclusion The use of urine dry chemistry and urine sedimentoscopy for leukocyte testing in patients with urinary tract infection is of high value,and the diagnostic efficacy of the combined test is better,providing an effective reference for the diagnosis and treat-ment of clinically important diseases.
