| Nitrites in Urine : What is a nitrites in urine test? A urinalysis test checks for different cells, chemicals, and other substances in a sample of your urine (pee). This includes checking for nitrites. Nitrites in your urine may be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). Different types of bacteria can cause UTIs. Many of these types of bacteria change a normal chemical in your urine, called nitrates, into another chemical, called nitrites. So, if you have nitrites in your urine, it usually means that you have a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs are one of the most common types of infections, especially in women. Most UTIs affect the bladder and urethra (the tube that carries urine out of your body). Fortunately, most UTIs are not serious. They are usually treated with antibiotics. UTIs that aren't treated could spread to your kidneys, which can be serious. So, it's important to diagnose and treat UTIs early.
