A urine culture may be ordered when symptoms indicate the possibility of a urinary tract infection, such as pain and burning when urinating and frequent urge to urinate.
The prime driver of whether a urine culture should be sent off to the laboratory should be patient signs and symptoms indicative of a urinary tract infection. There are only 2 clear indications for urine cultures in asymptomatic patients: pregnancy and presurgical evaluation for transurethral resection of the prostate. Among patients undergoing solid-organ transplant, the utility of culture in those without urinary tract symptoms is unclear.
