Unprotected oral second void, maybe 1/2 ounce wasted then in the cup NAAT,, male is this an accurate test? Potential prostate swollen and frequent urination?
I frequently use urine test strips to test my urine when I feel unwell that may be waterwork problem. Have had kidney stone surgically removed in the past.
Nitrite on the stick will mean that it is a bladder problem - usually Cystitis.
Positive leucocyte reading on the stick with or without signs of protein, usually means that there is a bacterial infection. If the doctor said you have a uti (urinary tract infection) this is anywhere from the kidneys down.
I check my urine at home with Chem Strips to check for protein. About a month ago I noticed nitrates were testing positive on the strips (Only +first morning urine), I had no symptoms of a UTI and I did nothing. Then a few days ago my urine appeared green and was testing for blood, leukocytes, protein (I always have this), and still the nitrates(Now positive at any time of day tested). I then began having urgency issues as well as right side flank pain. I went to the Dr.
I'm 25 weeks pregnant. At around 19 weeks, after having urethral pain for 2 weeks, I went to the ER as i was certain I did have a UTI, even though my doctor dismissed my symptoms and told me the leukocytes and bacteria found were from contamination. I was in considerably more pain that same night so headed to the ER where they confirmed I had a UTI and put me on cephalexin. I took it for 4 days until I started having diarrhea.
ve been having bladder infections the last few months but with NO symptoms other than the strips in drs office telling me I have blood and bacteria in my urine. So I was put on antibiotics by my family dr who also gave me a urine test in a lab which came back positive. He then referred me to a specialist. The specialist gave me ct scan and an ultrasound to which both came back normal.
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.
But if you really did have something wrong like a gallstone or other bile blockage, then the urine test will remain constant in showing the problem on repeated tests. If you didn't have the strip stored properly, the testing chemicals on the strip will become compromised/contaminated and will give you the crazy results. Be sure your test strips are stored in a small, airtight container. And that you use a clean urine collection cup as well.
This gas has a smell of rotten eggs. You can test its presence by test strips available OTC. If this is positive and you have smell of rotten eggs in urine then you need to cut down food items that contain sulfites. Most of this gas comes from sulfites a person consumes, which is a part of all preservatives. Sulfites are present in all juices, molasses, yellow dye in ready made food stuffs, and red wine.
You can also purchase urine PH strips over the counter at a local pharmacy and check the PH yourself.
Diet plays a major role in Urine PH as well. What do you feed?
If your dog had a culture and sensitivity run on her urine, that would tell you the exact bacteria responsible and give you the best antibiotic to eliminate it.
Conformation of a dogs vulvar area can also be a factor.
The test strips that I use are 10LG Parameter Urine Reagent Strips which can be bought on line at a reasonable price.
These strips detect Leukocytes, Nitrite, Urobilinogen, Protein, pH, Blood, Specific Gravity, Ketone, Bilirubin, Glucose.
You can get strips that detect less.
The one that would be of interest if someone is suffering from dehydration is the Specific Gravity reading.
I actually went through this with my own dog and being int he field I did my own bloodwork on her. What test did they do for lyme? The accurate test to get is a lyme quantitative C6 Ab test. This will give you a level of antibodies.
I again bought urine strips that detect blood only, and the strips shows non-hemolyzed trace only after drinking beer or coffee. If I drink a glass of water with a tsp of baking soda, the test strips come out negative. I guess my question is "is it harmful to drink a glass of baking soda water daily?", or should I return to the doctor and go thru kidney x-rays, cystoscopy, etc again? I really hate to give up my coffe ...
He did a quick test of urine (I guess with the urine test strips) and said it was normal. Then he asked me if STD was a possibility and I said could be due to my brothel visit. He has put me on amoxicillin 1000mg twice a day for 5 days. He told me to visit a urologist if there is still no relief. With this information, could you kindly provide your advice on my questions below.

Due to the frequency of my symptoms, I have urinalysis test strips at home. 5 days ago, when my symptoms began, I did a test first thing in the morning (with no voiding during the night), it showed positive for both nitrites and leukocytes (>500).
Later that day, I went to the urologist and their urinalysis came back clear. They gave me a bladder instillation (of which I have been doing weekly or bi-weekly).
Hi! I have used Clinical Guard ovulation strips, and they work. But I just discovered some called BFP, they make ovulation & pregnancy test strips, and they are super accurate and easy to read. They're my new "go-to" brand. I buy off of Amazon. Good luck! & lots of baby dust!
Why do you think there could not be new bacterias? Perhaps you know more than I do (I hope you do actually), but I do know that bacteria reproduce very quickly, and if there is one small change in the DNA it can turn into a new strain.
