Role of Urinalysis in UTI Diagnosis and Treatment Strategy
Urinalysis plays a crucial role in UTI diagnosis, with parameters like pyuria and nitrites indicating bacterial presence. However, the prevalence of these markers can complicate diagnosis, requiring a nuanced approach. Recommendations involve considering symptoms and patient input, with strategies like 'pill in the pocket' for recurrent UTIs. Nitrofurantoin's unique resistance profile and minimal gut effects make it a favorable choice, coupled with specific dosing to maximize efficacy and stewardship.
