Urine Nitrite (CP0032)

Description

Urine Nitrite is a screening test used to detect nitrites in urine, which are produced when certain bacteria convert urinary nitrates to nitrites. This test is commonly used in the evaluation of urinary tract infections (UTIs), particularly those caused by gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Urine nitrite testing is typically performed as part of routine urinalysis and is interpreted along with urine leukocyte esterase and clinical symptoms.
