A urinalysis will check if you have a urinary tract infection. If that is positive, then the C%26amp;S will show what antibiotics the bug is susceptible to.
What does a urinalysis with c%26amp;s measure? What does it test for?
culture and sensitivity
it shows bacteria and what meds will cure the infection
Reply:Most commonly this type of test is used for the diagnosis of a UTI (urinary tract infection). Urinalysis is a chemical test and measures the amount of leuckocytes (white blood cells) in the urine to determine infection and any Hemoglobin (blood )in it. It also detects glucose, nitrates protein for example.c%26amp;s means culture and sensitivity. The culture is incubated anywhere from 24 to 48 hrs to see if there is any bacterial growth. Sensitivity is a test done with several antibiotics to determine which antibiotic would be recommended to the patient for the type of infection detected. The laboratory report is then sent to the ordering physician.
