TUR: Transurethral
Resection; RP: Radical Prostatectomy. Extra-dilution rates for equal-occult blood urine samples were 1/50** v/v,
1/2* v/v, 1/10‡ v/v, 1/3† v/v, 1/13§ v/v,
1/6 v/v, 1/500& v/v. post-antibiotic pro., post-TUR
K:Um during antibiotic
prophylaxis. All patient samples were mixtures of 25 urine samples (5
patients × 5 samples). >10-fold (red) and
2–10-fold (blue)
increases from the peak height of the healthy volunteer in the original urine
mixture samples Ums were highlighted, as in (Table 3). |
