A doctor has provided 1 answer

UTI diagnosis: DIagnosis of a UTI is dependent on many factors: 1. the symptoms (fever, painful urination, bloody urination, abdominal pain, back pain); 2. microscopic testing of the urine (how many white cells, how much proein, how much blood, other chemicals); finally 3. the culture. Only interpreting all of these together can a physician accurately diagnose a UTI. Consult your doctor for your specific case.
