BACKGROUND
Urinary tract infections (UTI) are the most common type of infection among residents of long-term care facilities (LTCFs). The presence of asymptomatic bacteriuria among LTCF residents brings challenges to onsite health professionals. The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence
Objective To explore the correlation between asymptomatic bacteriuria(AB)and surgical site infection(SSI)in middle-aged and elderly women undergoing open hysterectomy.Methods The clinical data of 1469 middle-aged and elderly women undergoing open hysterectomy in the Third Affiliated Hospital of
BACKGROUND
Urinary tract inflammation and hemorrhage are believed to be common causes of proteinuria in dogs based on results of studies that measured total urine protein concentration. A method to quantify urine albumin (UAlb) concentration in dogs recently has become available; however, the effect
OBJECTIVE
To determine the diagnostic usefulness of semiquantitative and quantitative microalbuminuria assays and urine albumin-to-creatinine (UAC) ratio for detecting disease in cats.
METHODS
Prospective study.
METHODS
441 cats evaluated at a veterinary teaching hospital.
METHODS
Urine samples from
Urinary markers for renal dysfunction are gaining interest, but effects of sampling method, storage conditions, and urinary tract inflammation or infection on these markers are unclear. Therefore, the objectives of the current study were to determine the difference in urinary albumin (uALB), urinary
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate semiquantitative and quantitative assays for microalbuminuria and determination of the urine albumin-creatinine (UAC) ratio in detection of systemic disease in dogs without overt proteinuria.
METHODS
Prospective study.
METHODS
408 dogs.
METHODS
Urine samples that had been
OBJECTIVE
It has been recommended that urinary albumin be measured in sterile urine for the proper diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy. However, the association between bacteriuria and urinary albumin is controversial.
METHODS
A systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to investigate the
Prevalence of covert bacteriuria in patients of nephrotic syndrome admitted for kidney biopsy was studied in 205 patients. Age ranged from 10 years to 65 years. 148 patients were male and 57 were female. Prevalence of covert bacteriuria was found in 38 patients (18.53%). In bacteriuric patients 30

In a pilot project 2,122 schoolchildren were screened for symptomless urinary tract disease by the examination of midstream urine specimens. These were tested for albumin, blood, and glucose with Labstix commercial strips, together with microscopy for abnormal cellular excretion.One case of renal
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of first morning urinary volume (collected on three different non-consecutive days), fasting blood glucose (determined on the first and third days of urine collection), and glycosylated hemoglobin (determined on the first and third days of
BACKGROUND
Urinary albumin is the main parameter employed to diagnose diabetic nephropathy (DN). The exclusion of bacteriuria has been recommended at the time of DN diagnosis. This approach has been debated and information on this suggestion in patients with diabetes is scarce. The present
Asymptomatic bacteriuria has a reported prevalence of 4 to 7% during pregnancy. Preeclampsia has been reported to increase susceptibility to infection; therefore, the authors examined asymptomatic bacteriuria (greater than 100,000 colonies/mL of urine) as a possible marker for host resistance in
OBJECTIVE
The prevalence of significant bacteriuria (SB) in diabetes mellitus has not been clearly established. Having previously investigated SB frequency in inpatient diabetic women, we now screened for SB (both asymptomatic and symptomatic forms) in outpatients.
METHODS
We examined 511
