Among the types of tuberculosis, pulmonary tuberculosis is quite common due to its high rate. However, there are other forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis that also need to be detected and diagnosed in order to be treated promptly and appropriately, bringing high treatment efficiency.

Urinary tuberculosis occurs when the kidney is infected with tuberculosis through the blood from a tuberculosis focus in the lung, pleura, lymphatics or elsewhere.

Urinary or genitourinary tuberculosis is a fairly common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Cases of patients diagnosed with repeated urinary tract infections need to be differentiated from urinary tuberculosis, especially in subjects at high risk of tuberculosis infection. Therefore, it is very necessary to prescribe diagnostic tests for urinary tuberculosis in these cases.
