The link is in the top right corner of the video and in the episode description.   Hello and welcome, I’m Fernando, a GP in the UK. Today we are going to go through the interpretation and initial management of sterile pyuria, always focusing on what is relevant in Primary Care only.   The information is based on two relevant medical publications in the British Journal of General Practice as well as the New England Journal of Medicine. The links to them are in the episode description. If you want a reminder on how to manage non-visible haematuria, please watch the corresponding episode on this channel. The link is in the episode description too.   Right, so let’s jump into it.   Sterile pyuria is not an uncommon finding in clinical practice.

It can be higher in specific populations and sterile pyuria is more common among women because of the higher incidence of pelvic infection.   Sterile pyuria continues to pose a diagnostic conundrum because there are no guidelines on its management. Furthermore, no agreed definition for sterile pyuria exists. It is simply the presence of white blood cells in the urine, in the absence of infection. Some authors have defined it as the presence of 10 or more white cells per cubic millimetre of urine, 3 or more white cells per field on microscopy, or a urinary dipstick test that is positive for leucocytes, all of this in the absence of positive urine cultures.   Sterile pyuria can also be associated with haematuria, proteinuria, and casts, complicating the diagnosis.   (Causes)   Looking at the cause, broadly speaking, sterile pyuria may be classified as infectious or non-infectious.   Let’s look at the infectious causes first. Simple bacterial UTIs are extremely common. However, a recently treated UTI, usually within 2 weeks, or even after a single dose of antibiotics, can present as sterile pyuria. Therefore, we should check whether a recent course of antibiotics has been given and, if we are treating a UTI and requesting a urine culture, we should ensure that we adv...
