Product Information

Microscopic exam: With these tests, a small sample of urine is examined under a microscope for abnormal crystals, bacteria, or cell types. Infections and kidney problems are the most common problems identified with these tests. To understand urine concentrations, think about the dark color of your urine when you haven’t had anything to drink in some time. Your urine is lighter and usually has lower specific gravity when you’re well-hydrated. Urine tests reveal a lot of information about you. The color, odor, and clarity of urine can be used to indicate kidney health or even signal an infection. A more detailed analysis of the substances in your urine can give other clues about how well your different organ systems are functioning.

When a patient has reported that they are using nicotine replacement products but are no longer smoking, nicotine, cotinine, and urine anabasine measurements may sometimes be requested. Anabasine is present in tobacco but not in commercial nicotine replacement products. If a sample tests positive for anabasine then the person is likely to be still using tobacco products. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED: Based on the confidence in the quality, our Urine Test Strips are protected by worry-free support. Customer satisfaction is our top priority Your healthcare provider will use the results from your urine specific gravity test, along with other urinalysis results, to come up with a diagnosis. Abnormal specific gravity results could indicate: While there are home tests, the results won’t be as accurate as those conducted by a professional in a sterile environment. Home tests are more susceptible to contamination.The presence of increased levels of urobilinogen in the urine can be caused by haemolysis (e.g. haemolytic anaemia, malaria). Cloudy urine with sediment: may indicate urinary tract infection, renal stones, high protein content (e.g. nephrotic syndrome). If the doctor wants to see you about the result(s), you will be offered an appointment. If you are concerned about your test results, you will need to arrange an appointment with your doctor so that all relevant information including age, ethnicity, health history, signs and symptoms, laboratory and other procedures (radiology, endoscopy, etc.), can be considered. Urine specific gravity is a more precise measurement of your urine’s overall concentration than looking at the color of your urine alone. In general, high levels of nicotine or cotinine indicate active tobacco or nicotine replacement use. Moderate concentrations indicate a tobacco user who has not had tobacco or nicotine for two to three weeks. Lower levels may be found in a non-tobacco user who has been exposed to environmental smoke. Very low to non-detectable concentrations are found in non-tobacco users who have not been exposed to environmental smoke or a tobacco user who has refrained from tobacco and nicotine for several weeks.

Patients in whom nicotine overdose is self-evident would not normally be tested for nicotine or cotinine. Concentrations would typically be increased, but levels do not necessarily correlate with the severity of a person’s symptoms.Urine culture: A urine culture uses a sample of urine observed for a few days for bacterial growth. These tests are usually used to identify specific types of bacteria and tailor antibiotic treatment when you have an infection such as a urinary tract infection (UTI). Causes of low specific gravity include conditions that result in the production of dilute urine such as diabetes insipidus and acute tubular necrosis. The presence of red blood cells, haemoglobin and myoglobin in the urine may indicate urinary tract infection, renal stones, injury to the urinary tract, myoglobinuria ( rhabdomyolysis), nephritic syndrome and malignancy of the urinary tract. The blood reagent square indicates the amount of red blood cells, haemoglobin and myoglobin in the urine: Urobilinogen is a byproduct of bilirubin breakdown in the intestine and it is normally excreted in the urine:
