A urinalysis, or urine sample, is examined for both the presence of bacteria and white blood cells. After this, a urine culture to determine what bacteria is causing the infection may be done.

In a woman who has had urinary tract infections before the hisotry is more accurate than any test.

If the doctor suspects a UTI based on history and physical a urinalysis is usually done looking for such things as blood, protien, nitrate sand white cells. Often this can be done quickly in the office. In addition a culture, in which they see what bacteria grow can be done but that takes several days for results to be reported.
