Diagnosing Inflammation and Infection in the Urinary System via Proteomics.
Journal of Translational Medicine. 2015 Dec 01; 13: 111.
Abstract
Current methodology for the diagnosis of diseases in the urinary system includes patient symptomology, urine analysis and urine culture. Asymptomatic bacteriuria from urethral colonization or indwelling catheters, sample contamination from perineal or vaginal sources, and non-infectious inflammatory conditions can mimic UTIs, leading to uncertainty on medical treatment decisions.
