Cytokines in urine in elderly subjects with acute cystitis and asymptomatic bacteriuria
Scandinavian Journal of Primary Health Care, 05/28/09
Rodhe N et al. - The results indicate that measurement of urinary cytokines, and also leukocyte esterase, when using a cut-off value > 2, could be useful in clinical practice to discriminate between symptomatic and asymptomatic urinary tract infections in the elderly. A combination of IL-6 and leukocyte esterase could be even more useful. This needs to be evaluated in prospective studies on the diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract infections in an elderly population.
