nitrite
bacterial
infection involving the lower respiratory tract particularly the
bladder
cystitis
an inflammatory process of the
kidney and adjacent renal pelvis, is a frequent complication of
untreated cystitis and can lead to renal tissue damage,
impairment of renal function, hypertension, and even

of urine culture specimens
Indicates pyuriaand that inflammatory process is occurring
in the kidney or urinary tract
