Dr. Amy Nett: Yeah we would see a couple of asymptomatic urinary tract infections, but again we weren’t finding it useful enough. And I don’t know how many of those were false positives, too, was the other question that we sometimes had. So, and you can definitely make an argument to run them. I don’t think they’re all that expensive, especially if they’re covered by insurance. And so I think it’s easy to make an argument to run a standard urinalysis. We just sort of had to choose to some extent which markers we wanted to continue running.
