you mean a Blood test? the levels in a blood HCG test are seen sooner that a urine test that is why they test your blood. Drs urine tests are more like the digital tests and newer then what you may find at the store so they are accurate as well.

I'm confused during the booking you do blood test about 6 to 8 I think along with urine test how many results do you receive through the post beacuse my first pregnancy I received more then two paper this time I only got down syndrome Have anything change or they misplaced my results

Im in the UK and it seems the first step is the urine test according to my NHS walk in centre but you can ask for the blood test straight away if your really worried....but I think that depends on any symptoms. Ive heard different opinions on the urine test though, I have been told that its no good by one or two people but then afew others have said its fine for an intial check. Ive had a urine test and it was ok so Im just curious, as it was clear is that it? am I clear for diabetes? thanks.

When they test for M'done in urine (at least on a clinic) they test for it's metabolite (called EDDP for short) & it's ratio to creatinine levels, There is a drug called Bentyl (Dicycloverine) prescribed for IBS that can potentially cause a false positive. There may be others too. It also depends on how good the lab is that is doing the testing. Sometimes there's sloppy work or cross-contamination, particularly in the 'collection' phase. I'd request a retest.

I had a urine test ! and they found blood (seen in microscope) !! what do you advice me to do :) ?

(1) is the US the correct test instead of CT (2) is a Nephrologist the correct specialist vs a Urologist; (3) can simple cysts cause micro blood? Thank you for any info.

@kaylee..no I didnt hv sex for about 2 months now ;) I read it somewhere that for females few rbcs in urine are normal..should be concerned if its nly higher than 3-4..but im worrying about the presenc of organism in urine..in the report they hvnt indicated any value..just a plus sign..so should I get a urine culture done to get treated?

Is there a point in getting a blood test if you're already sure you're pregnant? Does it do anything other than confirm pregnancy?

Yes. Not last time but the time before apparently I had blood in my urine. So they made me do a urine culture. I was fine but they test for it and tell you at that same appt.

Have high levels of blood and protein in urine. Glucose levels and blood pressure are fine. I'm about 41 female About a 10 days ago I was surprised when I went to the restroom and noticed I had red bloody urine. At that time I had no pain only the urge to go to the restroom more so but no other symptoms.

s office the urine test was negative as well, so i had a blood test taken which came back positive, now 3 days later urine test are still showing negative my LMP was Dec 15 it lasted about 7 days and using due date calculators they say im 4 weeks is this normal?

As you can probably guess, my blood and urine routine showed borderline ALT levels, high IgE and +1 protein in urine. This was about 4 months after a potential exposure. I had allergies as a teen and young adult, but I can't explain the borderline elevated ALT levels, as I am slim and athletic. I did some research and became concerned about the correlations. Thank for any clarity you can provide.

wondering if im pregnant or not. Blood test said positive but urine test negative. Im still two days away from my period.
