Abstract
The general urine test is one of the most used tests for the clinical diagnosis of urinary tract infections. The objective of this research was to determine the relationship between the general urine test and urine culture in patients at the Hospital General Portoviejo. The methodological design was descriptive, non-experimental, cross-sectional and retrospective. The population consisted of 1,823 users over 18 years of age, with a sample size of 163. To determine the association between microscopic examination and urine culture, the Chi-squared statistical test was used. Results in the general urine test: in the physical color test, 78% and 22% of the samples correspond to the color yellow and amber, respectively; in terms of appearance, 55% corresponds to slightly turbid. The chemical analysis revealed that 16% of the samples presented a density of 1.005 to 1.010; a pH between a range of 5 to 6 (64%); 35% were positive for Nitrite. Concerning the microscopic analysis, leukocytes were observed in the urinary sediment in 33, 10, 13 and 26% (1.1-9.0; 10.4-23.4, 24.4-45.4 and >100 /field, respectively), epithelial cells (64%) and red blood cells between 0.2-0.8 per field, which represents 59% and bacteria with +, ++ and +++, representing 63%. 52% of urine cultures were negative and 48% positive. It is concluded that there is no significant difference at p<0.000 between the results of the EMO and the urine culture of the users of the Portoviejo General Hospital.
