Test Code LAB14587 UA CASCADE TO CULTURE

Important Note

Includes a chemical analysis which may reflex to sediment analysis depending on the chemical results (Clarity: Cloudy/Turbid, Glucose: 3+, Blood/Leuk. Est: Trace or higher, Nitrite: Positive, Protein: 1+ or higher). If the sediment then contains >=10 WBC/hpf, a reflex culture will be ordered.

Clean catch specimen preferred. First morning voided urine preferred. Samples greater than 8 hours old may be unreliable.

This order includes reflex testing, if appropriate, and there is no option to decline it. This test may reflex to BACTERIAL CULTURE, URINE (LAB239, URC), which is subject to Medicare National Coverage Determination (NCD) 190.12 Urine Culture, Bacterial.
