Urinary NO2- and NO3- evaluation by an ion chromatography system.

We describe an ion chromatography system using a Dionex AS4A-SC column with carbonate-bicarbonate buffer (1.8-1.7 mM) as eluent for the evaluation of urinary NO2- and NO3-. This chromatographic system gives an accurate measurement of NO2- and NO3- in the urine as an index of NO production in vivo, making also possible to evaluate their relative proportion and providing useful tools to investigate the NO system.

[The evaluation of antibody-coated bacteria in the urine sediment to watch the efficiency of antibacterial treatment in upper urinary-tract infections (author's transl)].

The effect of up to 6months antibacterial treatment on both urine culture and the presence of antibody-coated bacteria in the urinary sediment was examined in 15 patients with upper urinary-tract infection. At the end of the sixth month all the patients had sterile urine, while about one half still demonstrated antibody-coated bacteria in their sediment. Such a finding strongly suggests that urine culture is "per se" insufficient to exclude the presence of bacteria in the renal parenchyma, and that the evaluation of antibody-coated bacteria might be a better way to watch the effect of treatment in upper urinary-tract infections.
