Urinalysis Can Be Very Helpful When You Have a UTI

The urine pH and specific gravity can be very helpful in helping us either support or move us away from particular diagnoses that we're thinking about. Some of the things that we might expect to see that are positive on the UA at that point are leucasteries and white blood cells as well as nitrites. And I think it's also worth mentioning that sometimes hematuria can be the abnormality presenting a patient with a urinary tract infection.
