Eosinophil Detection in Urine
Overview
Eosinophil detection in urine is a test to identify a specific type of white blood cell, eosinophils, in your urine sample. Normally, eosinophils shouldn't be present in the urine. This test is done to investigate inflammation in the urinary tract, often caused by infections, allergic reactions, or sometimes as a reaction to certain medications affecting the kidneys. The presence of eosinophils can help diagnose conditions like interstitial nephritis, cystitis, or allergic reactions.
