Pengaruh Positifitas Leukosit Esterase dan Nitrit Urine Terhadap Nilai Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) pada Pasien Infeksi Saluran Kemih

Abstract

Urinary tract infection (UTI) characterized by positivity of leukocyte esterase and nitrite can affect the Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) value as a reflection of the degree of infection and inflammation by pathogenic microorganisms. Objective: To analyzed the effect of positivity leukocyte esterase and nitrite urine on NLR values in UTI patients. Methods: This study used an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional approach. UTI patients will be subjected to urinalysis and complete blood cell examination. The data obtained will be subjected to the Pearson correlation and linear regression tests. Results: This study used 36 samples of UTI patients with an abnormal number of positive leukocyte esterase samples in 36 samples (100%), positive urine nitrite in 20 samples (55,6%), and abnormal NLR values >3,5 are 27 samples (75%) with a mean of 10,21. Conclusion: There is a significant influence and relationship between the positivity of leukocyte esterase and urine nitrite on NLR value in UTI patients with a simultaneous value of 45,1% and p 0,000.
