Laboratory parameters of the 1st order – obligatory laboratory tests.
- Urine status (rapid test for: pH, leukocytes, nitrite, protein, glucose, blood), sediment.
- Urine culture (pathogen detection and resistogram, that is, testing suitable antibiotics for sensitivity / resistance) – to exclude infectionMan: midstream urine; woman: catheter urine.
Laboratory parameters 2nd order – depending on the results of the history, physical examination and the obligatory laboratory parameters – for differential diagnostic clarification.
- Fasting glucose (fasting blood glucose).
- Renal parameters – urea, creatinine, cystatin C or creatinine clearance, as appropriate.
- PSA (prostate specific antigen) – for clarification of prostate-related micturition problems; In geriatric patients, PSA determination should be performed only if therapy for prostate carcinoma (prostate cancer) is sought in the presence of proven intravesical obstruction (urinary obstruction), either by anti-hormonal treatment or surgical desobstruction by transurethral resection (surgical removal of the prostate through the urethra), or a combination of both procedures (level of evidence IV, recommendation grade 10, 100%)
- Syphilisserology
