I have done a routine urine test. My nitrite level shows positive. What does it mean? Please suggest.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Positive nitrite in urine usually indicates a bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI), commonly due to E. coli. If you have burning or frequent urination, consult a doctor. Start antibiotics only after doing a Urine Culture. Drink 2 to 3L water daily.
Dr. Dhankecha Suggests...
Take a URINE ROUTINE + CULTURE SENSITIVITY Test

View allI had a UTI two weeks back and took antibiotics (Nitrobact 100) as there was bleeding along with urine. From today morning, I have the same problem but without bleeding. My period is three days delayed, and there is a faint line on the urine pregnancy test. I drank a lot of water, and the symptoms have reduced a bit. Please tell me the reason for this, as I am scared. I am new to Mumbai and not aware of good hospitals. Please suggest a few urine tests to find out the reason for this? I am also planning to conceive.

My father is 63 years old and he has diabetes. Recently we visited his regular diabetic doctor for a check up and at that time he said my father is having infection in urine and due to this he should avoid salty foods and ghee foods. We followed his instructions. But in the past few days he was suffering from cold and fever. Suddenly we could not take him to his regular doctor for a check up so I took him to a nearby clinic and that doctor advised to do a culture test. I got the results today. I would like to know what is in the results. Is the report normal? I am attaching the lab report for reference. Thank you.
