UTI Urinary Tract Infections Rapid Self Test
At-Home Detection of Urinary Tract Infections
The UTI Self-Test is a convenient and noninvasive method for detecting urinary tract infections (UTls) in the comfort of your home.
What’s Tested
This test identifies multiple indicators of UTis by detecting the presence of blood, protein, nitrite, and leukocytes (white blood cells) in your urine. Results are available in just 2 minutes and can be compared against a provided color chart.
Why It’s Important
UTis occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract, potentially affecting the urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidneys. If left untreated, UTis can lead to more severe kidney complications.
Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent the infection from spreading and causing further health issues.
Common Symptoms
- A strong, persistent urge to urinate
- A burning sensation during urination.
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine.
- Pelvic pain, especially in women.
- Blood in the urine.
How It Works
Collect a urine sample using the provided collector. Dip the test strip into the urine sample, then compare the strip’s colour changes to the accompanying color chart to interpret your results. This straightforward process allows for quick and reliable detection of potential UTis.
Why Early Diagnosis Matters
Prompt identification of a UTI enables timely treatment, reducing the risk of the infection ascending to the kidneys and causing more serious health complications.
