Self-Test for the detection of leukocytes, blood, nitrites and proteins in urine
Urinary tract infection is one of the most frequent pathologies affecting this area. The symptoms can be very different, such as: burning, constant urge to urinate and, in severe cases, lower back pain, fever and flu.
read moreThe urinary tract includes: upper urinary ducts, bladder, urinary ducts and renal pelvis. Generally, the infection originates in the urinary duct and then extends to the upper urinary tract until it reaches the kidneys. It is mainly women who suffer from it, due to the short urinary ducts that favor the penetration of pathogenic germs. Men are affected especially in old age, as an enlarged prostate could prevent urine from flowing out.

| Proteins accuracy | 88.0% |
| Nitrites accuracy | 100.0% |
| Negative | the presence of leukocytes, blood, nitrites and proteins in the urine has not been detected. |
| Leucocytes positive | leukocytes have been detected in the urine. It is recommended to contact your doctor. |
