Comparison of Urinary Lactic Dehydrogenase with Antibody-Coated Bacteria in the Urine Sediment as Means of Localizing the Site of Urinary Tract Infection

摘要: Two noninvasive methods of localizing the site urinary tract infection, lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzymes and antibody coating bacteria in sediment, have been prospectively compared with bladder washout technique a series children infection. Fifteen had infection localized upper tract. Urinary LDH correctly 14 children; however, was by only eight patients (P less than .02). Fourteen lower technique. all children, whereas ten .05). This study shows isoenzyme pattern to be more accurate detection antibody-coated for
