How To Read Urine Test Strips 

It is also noted on the bottle, to NOT TOUCH the TEST STRIP AREAS; which you do in the video. It can cause inaccurate results.

Please delete/ignore 2:44-2:50 when the narrator says you can skip the individual timing of the tests and read the whole strip at 2 minutes. That approach will give false positives or erroneous test results. The little numbers are there for a reason. The reason is that that is when each test is accurate. The chemical reactions that cause the color changes continue to darken over time. So if you wait until 2 minutes some of the test pads may have gone several shades darker from where the true result is.

You’ve got to explain what each test is for. Thanks

Great simple explanation. Better than urologist I just watched

WHEW! glad i watched this haha, had bought some like a year ago and just tried em tonight randomly and my leukocytes where super purple! freaked out a lil and This was the first vid i pulled up and ur intro made me look at an unused strip, they are all bad/expired hah.

I'm glad I came here to watched this very informative video. I thought there was something strange about those strips I bought as soon as I first opened them though they weren't expired. They were probably an ebay purchase that was already opened before I got them. So I won't be buying anymore of these or any strips from ebay anymore. Very informative video.

Thank you for your simple explanation 👍👍

What do all the elements mean? Which one would indicate an infection please?

Wish you went into detail about that off the chart protein reading

Super helpful, to the point and clear video. Thank you!

Stick is very sensitive to light, moisture and temperature. Your hand might be moist, hot and it can affect reading significantly and decreases shelf life. I am registered nurse. People tend to forget to check colour, clarity of urune and straightforward dip the stick which I feel it's wrong practice.

Thanks for your good,demostrative and understandable explainations.Keep it up.👍👍

How to check Blood in Urine ? Which Parameters we should check for results? Thank you so much.

I use a clean desiccant pouch / canister in the urine strip bottle to attempt to extend strip life.and, then store the strip bottle away from the bathroom, in a low place, to avoid heat.

Excellent presentation!!!! Thanks very much.

This was very helpful. Thank you.

This was very helpful. Good job explaining

You never mentioned what the ideal reading or colour should be. How would one know when a reading looks normal or is a cause for concern?

Thank you! For explaining the timing

GREAT demonstration! I just performed this test with a similar brand (11-point test) because last week, on a much simpler home test, I tested as having a UTI. All was normal this time (after antibiotics) except S.G.--way off. I will have to search elsewhere to know what that means and whether it's important. MAY call your company number if I have no luck, so thank you for providing contact info.

When is the best time to do the test is it first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything?

Nicely explained 💛

Make sure to use high CRI light to compare colours. Only very high quality led lights, or halogen light, or the best - natural sunlight

Looks like my urine test, my protein was on the other end, not as much as this one, but it was up there and so was my Ph....

Very well explained. Thankyou

Yes good description but what about the results that don’t match? What do they mean?

Well explained. Thank you so much

You should work for the company: "YOU CAN WAIT THE FULL 2 MINUTES BEFORE ANY EXAMINATION" THANK YOU!

weird, no foam in urine and you gor high protein, hope you doing well and thank you for informative video

So one should be alarmed if the test result is at the very end in a category ?

Does this result not concern. Does this not mean that you have an unknown Kidney disfunction esp. if this is a constant over many months. You should be at the opposite end of the scale. Females are a little higher on the PH but not at the other end of the chart.

thank you it helped me and my friend mr wassim jaffel thank youuuuuuuuu

Thank you ma'am

Great help thank you

I needed to know if the test strips can be purchased at your neighbor hood pharmacy,? Also I needed to know if your acidity or your alkaline reads positive turn brown or neutral what color on ph

Thank you! Super helpful!

Thank you.

Very helpful

Thank you!

Thank you for the video

that was awesome!! thanku!!

This was helpful

Life saver!! Thank you

Brilliantly explained

You can not touch strip by bare hands

THANKS

My question is if the colour on the text strip is the same thing ...which one is negative and positive

Thanks for sharine How t write all the the results of each

Much thanks! Also this is such a gross test to be carried at home. X( also you put the bottle right where the urine was on the tissue.

What di the numbers on the right mean . Those above the colours. I dont mean the ones that tells you how many seconds it will take . I mean the ones on the right above the coloured boxex on the bottle.

Thank you

Wouldn't you start at the bottom, 30 secs, then up to 60 sec items etc and you have to keep up. Should have someone else watching the clock, recording the results. I think she said just wait the 120 to do them all which would be a big blunder.

When you’re waiting for the colours to change. Is it that one of the colours changes and that gives you your reading

Is there a home test kit for Potassium?

Are these test strips valid for someone who has been eating a carnivore diet for three years?

Doesn't high Protein indicate Kidney problems?

What if my protein is pad is pretty much all negative except for the very very edges? Happened twice now.

When I use a test strip I get inconclusive results if you can call it that... My leukocyte 'square' turns fairly deep purple in the middle, but remains its original 'white' color towards the rims. My protein 'square' is also weird and goes dark blue/green in the rims, but remains its original color in the middle. Are these false positives or not? I've had these for a few months now so I'm guessing it's nothing of importance really. But it still confuses me as to how I'm supposed to interpret it, while the other 'squares' behaves like they're supposed to de. Do any of you have an idea of what I should do about this?

If it matches the colour is that good or bad??

that protien is very high possible kidney damage or chronic protein leaking

What indicates an infection?

I really wish you would center the bottle when you go through the test. Towards the middle to end of the video you just keep it slanted and don't spin it one by one for the results. I was waiting specifically for some of the other tests and didn't get a good look at them and you kinda hurried through talking about the rest of them. I'm confused about how to read the creatine and wish you were as thorough speaking about that as you were with the first rhings

Excellent

Thank you for this. Does it matter at what time you test after a meal when testing for protein? Cheers.

I,m wondering why my ERY showed lira instead of yellow

Thankyou!❤

" look aside pad" how about "top pad"... other wise very informative....

What if the protein was trace is it a bad sign or normal

If the strips last 60 to 90 days. So really, it’s not advisable to buy a pack with a 100 strips ?

So is negative good I’m confused

Are there any pacific jobs dealing with urnylasis

Ok to use these exact ones for cats? Thank you for this video!

What if only the edge of the dipstick changed color ? for example for protein : the square stay yellow but one edge blue

Thankyou very informotive,can I use the Glacometer to test Urine as wel/??

What color would it be if I have a UTI?

JUST COMPLETED TEST AND THAT SHOWS BLOOD Colour result of +++200 and S.G colour result of 1030 please can you explain what that means

How do I know that maybe blood Is positive or negative

Which color indicates you have weed in your system

Which color indicates pregnancy?

Which pad shows kidney function test. Are negative results always good

So if the ph of the strip doesn't change, what does that mean? Not sure if strips I bought are bad, or ? Skipping between 4, and beginning at untested strip to see the change? Thank you.

Thank you 😉

What if you get 2 different colors?

ty

how many minutes does a strip stays on the flat surface

Good ❤❤

LOL I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO LEAVE IT IN THE PEE FOR 2 MINUTES AND I THOIGHT I HAD AN INFECTION 🤣🤣🤣

it is helpful that u a lot.

Positive protein result… does that mean you have protein in your urine? Which means you are eating unused protein? Which would be the goal if you were a bodybuilder? i.e. you’re getting enough protein in your diet, not deficient?

Please can i send u a photo of my test i cant read it at all it’s complicated

Is a dry cool place a fridge?

What does a speckled pattern on blood pad mean? Can't find the answer anywhere

I am using the URS-10 test that checks for microalbumin and the color is a much brighter blue than the colors on the chart. The protein is negative. It remains yellow, but I’m concerned about this sky blue microalbumin result. Is this unusual or can these strips be inconsistent for checking microalbumin? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

It would have been awesome if she had said “ oh man, I’m pregnant! “

Is yellow in protein good?

Hi, I read my strip after about an hour because I got called away. Is it still accurate?

Wonderful thank you, if possible could you look at mine? It would be massively appreciated.

Ok but can this test for marijuana?

Mmm lemonade

Hurry up
