PREGMATE 10 Parameter Urinalysis Reagent Test Strips (50 Tests)

About Pregmate 10 Parameter Urinalysis Reagent Test Strips: Pregmate Urinalysis Reagent Strips provide fast and accurate testing for the following parameters: Glucose, Bilirubin, Ketone, Specific Gravity, Blood, pH, Protein, Urobilinogen, Nitrite, and Leukocytes in urine. Helps screen for: Diabetes, Kidney disorders, Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), Carbohydrate metabolism, Liver function issues, pH balance, Urine concentration. 10 PARAMETER LIST: Leukocytes: Aka white blood cells. Indicate presence of infection. Nitrites: May be a sign of urinary tract infection or other infection. Glucose: The most common test for diabetes. pH: Measures urine acidity, associated with higher risk of kidney stones. Protein (Albumin): Tests for kidney function. Ketones: Caused by disorders of increased metabolism and also by unbalanced diets such as high protein / low carb, anorexia, or fasting. Specific gravity: Evaluates the body's water balance and urine concentration. Blood: Can result from infection, injury, inflammation, kidney stones, or cancer. Bilirubin: Could indicate liver or gallbladder problems such as gallstones, hepatitis, cirrhosis, or tumors. Urobilinogen: Checks for liver disease. DIRECTIONS FOR USE 1. Collect fresh urine sample in a clean, dry container. 2. Immerse the reagent area of the strip into the urine sample and take it out quickly. 3. Compare the color change of the reagent pads to the corresponding color chart on the bottle label. 4. Read results according to the chart’s time frame for each panel tested. UNDERSTANDING URINE TESTS What do the characteristics of urine tell us? The elimination of urine is very important for different bodily functions. It regulates the balance of water in the body and also gets rid of substances that are produced during metabolic processes and are no longer needed by the body. These include toxic substances in food or medicines. Urine tests can help detect diseases of the urinary system as well as metabolic diseases like diabetes or liver disease. What do the results tell us? You can determine whether the results are within the normal range by using the color chart on the package. The pH value, for example, can be used to find out whether there is an increased risk of developing urinary stones. This is the case if the pH is too acidic (if the value is below 5). A pH value over 7 may be a sign of a bacterial urinary tract infection. Tests measuring other things can help detect other problems: high protein levels may be a sign of a kidney inflammation, ketones and sugar in urine are signs of high blood sugar, leukocytes or nitrite may be a sign of a bacterial infection. The color, odor and amount of urine can already indicate whether something is wrong. If, for instance, someone passes only a little very dark urine, it could be a sign that they have not had enough to drink – or that their kidneys are no longer working properly. Cloudy or flaky urine could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. If the urine is reddish in color, there might be blood in it. To find out more, the urine needs to be tested using a test strip or in a lab.
