A UTI test checks for signs of a urinary tract infection, most often by testing a urine sample. A blood sample may be used to look for bacteria or a body-wide response when an infection is severe or complications are suspected. It helps a clinician confirm an infection and choose the right care.

What it measures

  • White blood cell count — Cells that rise when the body fights an infection.
  • C-reactive protein (CRP) — A marker that can go up with inflammation or infection.
  • Blood culture — A sample grown in a lab to see if bacteria are present in the blood.
  • Creatinine — A waste product that shows how well the kidneys are filtering.
  • Urinalysis — A urine check for bacteria, white cells, or blood.

Who it is for

A clinician may order this test when someone has UTI symptoms such as burning with urination, fever, or flank pain, or when a kidney or bloodstream infection is a concern.

Preparation

No fasting is usually needed. Tell your clinician about any antibiotics you are taking, since they can affect the results.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as numbers or as positive or negative findings, often within 1–3 business days. A clinician interprets them alongside your symptoms and other tests. This is general information, not medical advice.
