Disease relevance of Pyuria

 

High impact information on Pyuria

  • The prevalence of pyuria among placebo patients increased from 11% to 42% while the catheter was in place; by contrast, the rate of pyuria was 11% or less in patients receiving ciprofloxacin (RR 4.0 [2.1-7.3]) [6].
  • As the bacterial count increased, the association between these organisms and symptoms increased, and a step-wise increase occurred in the frequency and magnitude of pyuria, but the specific gravity and urine creatinine levels remained unchanged [7].
  • Urinalysis is also of great value in symptomatic patients; the presence of pyuria (and possibly indirect quantitation of pyuria by the leukocyte esterase test) is a reliable indicator of treatable infection, and its absence indicates infection is not present [8].
  • Two-hundred nine patients with symptoms of acute urinary tract infection and pyuria were randomized to 400 mg of administered norfloxacin twice daily for three days, or 800 mg of sulfamethoxazole and 160 mg of trimethoprim administered twice daily for ten days [9].
  • Body temperature, CRP, ESR, pyuria, and renal concentrating capacity were analyzed in 692 children with first-time urinary tract infections [10].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Pyuria

  • The Clinitek leukocyte esterase, nitrite, and blood methods were less sensitive than microscopic methods for detection of pyuria, bacteriuria, and hematuria, respectively [11].
  • Quantitative assessment of pyuria revealed a significant drop in the rate of excretion of white cells to near normal levels not only in patients who were cured but also in others, a finding which suggests that the infectious process had been affected by amikacin in all cases [12].
  • Adding urine culture for patients with pyuria had a marginal cost of $34 to $107 per SDA, which fell to $40/SDA when the prevalence of resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole exceeded 40% [13].
  • Bacteriuria and pyuria were diagnosed, and cefazolin was initiated [14].
  • Pyuria in patients treated with indinavir is associated with renal dysfunction [15].
 

Biological context of Pyuria

  • There was no correlation between TH distribution and the degree of tubulointerstitial damage (p greater than 0.5), urinary TH excretion (p greater than 0.05), urinary beta 2-microglobulin excretion (p greater than 0.05), glomerular filtration rate, urinary concentrating ability, or the incidence of pyuria [16].
 

Anatomical context of Pyuria

 

Gene context of Pyuria

  • In the group with urinary infection an increased CEA level in urine, after antiphlogistic therapy, was found in 5 cases, inflammatory cells in 12 cases, pyuria in 8 cases and suspect cells were found in 6 cases in the group with urinary infection [19].
  • We should also note microscopic pyuria in such patients and subsequently perform C. trachomatis polymerase chain reaction test using urine initially as a noninvasive examination before cystourethroscopy [20].
  • Pyuria, dysuria, and frequency may be absent in patients with UTI's or present in patients without UTI's. Therefore, a UTI must be bacteriologically diagnosed as greater than 100,000 organisms/ml, usually of a single organism, in a properly obtained urine specimen [21].
  • OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate prospectively the impact of bacteriuria with or without pyuria and/or detrusor pressure on renal tubular function in patients with secondary vesicoureteral reflux [22].
  • A 69-year-old man with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency was treated with nitrofurantoin for pyuria [23].
