The clinical problem
The front door of every urinary workup.

Urinalysis is rarely the headline test — until it is. A missed nitrite, an overlooked cast, or a misread leukocyte esterase quietly drives empirical antibiotic prescribing, unnecessary imaging, and avoidable admissions. We treat UA as the foundation of every downstream decision, not a throwaway dipstick.

Every specimen is run on a McKesson Consult™ 120 Urine Analyzer, then made instantly reflex-eligible into our 10-target UTI Panel — so a positive screen never sits waiting on a second draw.

By the Numbers

The clinical weight behind this panel.

Industry statistics from public-health bodies and peer-reviewed literature — context for why this testing matters.

#1
most ordered point-of-care lab in primary care

Yet manual dipsticks miss subtle casts, crystals, and dysmorphic RBCs.

~20%
of dipstick leukocyte esterase results are falsely negative in true UTI

Microscopy + culture correlation closes the gap.

U.S. adults has chronic kidney disease — most undiagnosed

Early proteinuria and hematuria are first detectable here.

median automated read time per specimen

Reflex to culture only when indicated — fewer unnecessary antibiotics.

What This Panel Diagnoses

Conditions, syndromes & infections covered.

The clinical scenarios where this panel is the right call — built around the differential your providers are actually working through.

Infection & Inflammation Screening

2
Suspected Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

Nitrite and leukocyte esterase signal bacterial infection — the front door of every UTI workup.

Clinical Impact ·Positive screen reflexes directly into the 10-target molecular UTI Panel from the same specimen — no recollection.
Pyuria without symptoms (asymptomatic bacteriuria)

Distinguishes treatable infection from incidental findings that don't require antibiotics.

Clinical Impact ·Reduces unnecessary antibiotic prescribing — a key antimicrobial stewardship win.

Kidney & Urologic Workup

3
Hematuria evaluation

Quantifies blood in urine — the entry test for glomerular disease, stones, or urologic malignancy workup.

Proteinuria & glomerular disease

Detects protein leak suggestive of nephrotic or nephritic syndrome.

Clinical Impact ·Early detection triggers nephrology referral before irreversible kidney damage.
Kidney stone workup

Crystals, pH, and blood help characterize stone type and predict recurrence risk.

Metabolic & Systemic Disease Screening

4
Diabetes & DKA monitoring

Glucose and ketones flag uncontrolled hyperglycemia and metabolic stress.

Clinical Impact ·Positive ketones in a hyperglycemic patient is a medical emergency — drives same-day intervention.
Hepatobiliary disease

Bilirubin and urobilinogen raise concern for liver dysfunction, hepatitis, or biliary obstruction.

Pregnancy & pre-eclampsia surveillance

Routine protein and glucose monitoring throughout prenatal care.

Pre-procedure clearance

Baseline urine status before surgery, catheterization, or contrast studies.

Complete Target List

10 targets, resolved from a single specimen.

Each organism below is reported individually as Detected, Not Detected, or Inconclusive — grouped here by pathogen class for clinical scanability.

Why Molecular

Culture was built for a different century.

Multiplex real-time PCR resolves what culture and rapid antigen miss — fastidious organisms, polymicrobial infections, viruses, and resistance markers — from a single specimen.

Conventional
The Old Way

Culture & rapid antigen

  • 3–5 days
    Patient empirically treated before any answer arrives
  • Misses fastidious & viral organisms
    No growth ≠ no infection
  • Single-organism bias
    Polymicrobial infections under-reported
  • No resistance data
    Susceptibilities arrive a day later, if at all
  • Specimen-quality dependent
    Pre-treated patients culture negative

Result Format

Per-target results, with clinical context.

Each analyte is reported with its measured value alongside the reference range for a normal (negative) urinalysis. Results outside the reference range are flagged for clinical review.
