Definition / notes:	Urinalysis reflex, or urinalysis with reflex, is follow-up testing to further explore abnormal results found in a routine dipstick test. It involves culturing the urine to determine with greater specificity the type of bacteria present. Standard Urinalysis Urinalysis is the chemical, microscopic and physical examination of a urine sample taken from a patient. It can reveal much about the compounds that pass through the urine, and can help to diagnose a wide range of illnesses. Areas of Evaluation In standard urinalysis, the sample is observed for color and clarity, and tested for the presence of things such as nitrites, excessive proteins and bacteria, which may indicate infection. Reflex Testing If abnormal levels of certain nitrites, leukocytes, blood or proteins are found in the standard urinalysis, a urinalysis reflex automatically calls for the further culturing of the urine sample to gather more information about the type of bacteria present, without a separate order being submitted. Urine Culture & Sensitivity Urine culture and sensitivity is the second step in a urinalysis with reflex. This further testing allows a sample of the urine to be microscopically observed over 24 to 48 hours to assess the growth of present bacteria or yeast. By gathering this information, your physician can make a more definite diagnosis of a urinary tract infection. Reflex Testing Helps with Treatment Another advantage to the culture that is performed in a urinalysis with reflex is that it helps your physician determine the best course of treatment for a UTI. By prescribing a medication known to be effective in wiping out the specific bacteria found in your urine, he is better able to eradicate the infection.
