Flow charts are easy-to-understand diagrams that show how the steps in a process fit together. Their simplicity makes them useful tools for communicating how processes work, and for documenting how to do a particular job. Furthermore, the act of mapping out a process using a flow chart can clarify your understanding of it, and help you improve it. You can use them to: Define and analyze processes.
The nonspecificity of the finding of pyuria, like bacteriuria, can also hamper the diagnosis of UTI. Pyuria reflects an inflammation of the uromucosal lining and may signal the transition from bladder colonization to symptomatic UTI.
