Determinación de nitritos en muestras de orina con bacteriuria en Canis lupus familiaris en Hospital Veterinario Animalopolis.

Abstract

The investigation evaluated the effectivity of urine reactive strips, specifically nitrites in the presence of urine bacteria of domestic dog that go to Animalopolis Hospital Clínica Veterinaria in Guayaquil, determining the sensibility and specificity of them. It was performed within a period from May to August to a total of 96 patients to whom urine samples were collected by means of cystocentesis, which was divided into two groups: one to be subjected to centrifugation at 10,000 revolutions per minute, for 10 minutes and the other doesn't. Then it was proceeded to evaluate if these marked positive or negative before the chemical reaction. As a result, getting a p- value 0,0021, having a statistical significance (p> 0.01), it was resolved that there is a difference between centrifuging the sample prior to processing the biochemical examination of the analyte in question. In conclusion, there is a significance between centrifuging the sample to obtain a positive result with respect to domestic canine patients with bacteriuria.
