Urinary Infection Test | 1 Test

The urinary tract infection test is a self-test with results in 3 minutes for the rapid qualitative detection of leukocytes, blood, nitrite, and protein in human urine. These parameters are important indicators of a possible urinary tract infection.

Brand: All-test.

Description:
A urinary tract infection is the most common disease of the urinary tract, which includes the urethra, bladder, ureter, and kidneys. Men, women, and children are all susceptible to urinary tract infections. Women are particularly susceptible to urinary tract infections, as their short urethra favors the penetration of germs. However, elderly men are also affected if they have an enlarged prostate that obstructs the flow of urine.
In healthy people, urine is sterile (meaning it contains no microorganisms). One of the best ways to keep your urinary tract sterile is to completely empty your bladder at regular intervals. An infection usually begins in the urethra and can later spread to the upper urinary tract, all the way to the kidneys. Symptoms vary considerably: burning when emptying the bladder or a strong urge to urinate. Urine may also be cloudy or have a strong odor.

When to perform:
The test should be performed in the presence of the following symptoms: excessive frequency and/or burning during urination, cloudy urine and/or urine with a strong odor.

Test principle:
The urinary tract infection test detects the presence of non-physiological levels of leukocytes, blood, nitrites, and proteins in the urine. These specific chemical reactions are visible through a color change in the reactive area of the test strip.

How to use:
1. Once the sachet is opened, it is recommended that you test it immediately;
2. Place the test strip into the urine sample and make sure that the four test fields are immersed for about 1 to 2 seconds;
3. Interpret the results after 2 minutes (do not interpret the results after 3 minutes);
4. Analyze the result separately for each parameter, compare the color with the provided color chart.
