Read Every Dipstick Like It Matters.
First-line urine workup, run with the rigor of a reflex-ready molecular lab. Clear chemistry, clean microscopy, fast turnaround.
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.
The clinical weight behind this panel.
Industry statistics from public-health bodies and peer-reviewed literature — context for why this testing matters.
Yet manual dipsticks miss subtle casts, crystals, and dysmorphic RBCs.
Microscopy + culture correlation closes the gap.
Early proteinuria and hematuria are first detectable here.
Reflex to culture only when indicated — fewer unnecessary antibiotics.
Figures reflect publicly reported epidemiology and clinical literature for context only. They are not performance claims for the Chaseville Labs assay. See individual citations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, National Institutes of Health, and peer-reviewed journals.
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
2Nitrite and leukocyte esterase signal bacterial infection — the front door of every UTI workup.
Distinguishes treatable infection from incidental findings that don't require antibiotics.
Kidney & Urologic Workup
3Quantifies blood in urine — the entry test for glomerular disease, stones, or urologic malignancy workup.
Detects protein leak suggestive of nephrotic or nephritic syndrome.
Crystals, pH, and blood help characterize stone type and predict recurrence risk.
Metabolic & Systemic Disease Screening
4Glucose and ketones flag uncontrolled hyperglycemia and metabolic stress.
Bilirubin and urobilinogen raise concern for liver dysfunction, hepatitis, or biliary obstruction.
Routine protein and glucose monitoring throughout prenatal care.
Baseline urine status before surgery, catheterization, or contrast studies.
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.
Analytes
10 targetsCulture 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.
Culture & rapid antigen
- 3–5 daysPatient empirically treated before any answer arrives
- Misses fastidious & viral organismsNo growth ≠ no infection
- Single-organism biasPolymicrobial infections under-reported
- No resistance dataSusceptibilities arrive a day later, if at all
- Specimen-quality dependentPre-treated patients culture negative
McKesson Consult™ 120 Urine Analyzer
- 1–2 hoursSame-day results from specimen receipt
- McKesson Consult™ 121-10SGUrine reagent strips for 10-parameter chemistry screening
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.
