  • Title: [Comparative studies on the evaluation of leukocyturia by means of counting chambers, sediment microscopy and the Cytur test].
    Author: Pöge AW, Dieterich F, Hellthaler G.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Inn Med; 1981 Dec 01; 36(23):930-3. PubMed ID: 7342521.
    Abstract:
    For the purpose of quantitative evaluation of leucocyturias we examined the spontaneous urine (mid-stream method) of 260 patients with nephropathies. The quantitative chamber counting of non-centrifuged urine was compared with the microscopic examination of spun sediment and the Cytur-test. The microscopic examination of spun sediment has to be declined because of high falsely positive and negative results. The Cytur-test is to be performed in a simple way and of high evidence. It is referred to the necessity of an application of test-stripes for leucocyturia.
