Urine culture - catheterized specimen
Alternate Names : Culture - urine - catheterized specimen, Urine culture - catheterization, Catheterized urine specimen culture
Risks
There is a slight risk of perforation (hole) in the urethra or bladder from the catheter and a risk of infection.
Special Considerations
Rarely, a suprapubic aspirate may be performed if a sample cannot be obtained by other methods. In this method, a needle is inserted through the skin of the lower abdomen into the bladder to withdraw urine.
