In this video, we’re going to talk about how to read urine test strips. If you’re interested in using urine test strips, this video is going to simplify them for you.

Urine test strips are not made to diagnose anything. They are simply there to give you clues to potential irregularities in your body.

Most urine test strips test 10 things:
1. Protein - Too much protein could be a sign of kidney disease, dehydration, intense exercise, or a kidney stone.

2. Leukocytes - High levels could suggest an infection, UTI, or kidney stone.

3. Ketones - A potential sign you’re on a low carb diet, or you have diabetes

4. Glucose - Levels higher than 180 could indicate diabetes.

5. Nitrites - This could be a sign of nitrate-reducing bacteria, such as E. coli or gonorrhea.

6. Blood - Could indicate UTI, intense exercise, or kidney stones.

7. Urobilinogen - Could be a sign of liver damage, cirrhosis, or hepatitis.

8. pH - Levels between 6 and 7.5 could indicate uric acid stones or too much protein.

9. Specific gravity - Highly-concentrated urine could indicate dehydration.

10. Bilirubin - Could be an early sign of liver damage or a blocked bile duct.

Yes, please, make a series about the most useful tests and how to interpret them

Cool idea Doc, I’ll buy those for my morning routine. If anyone is interested in just the keto urine test, in the USA Walmart pharmacy sells keto urine strips for only $5 for a bottle of 50. I like to cut them in half lengthwise so I get double the strips. It’s helpful at letting you know if you are keeping your carbs low enough for ketosis.

I have had a history of blood in my urine with no infection. Doctors have no clue. I chalk it up to an irritated bladder, most likely caused from molds and mold toxins in the environment. I use marshmallow root to coat and soothe the bladder when it feels achy. Works great!

DR. BERG YOU ARE AMAZING! I’ve learned so much from you! You literally have a video on just about any situation/struggle a person could go through while following this diet.
I send your videos to my family obsessively now to educate them as well and help them make lifestyle changes!

[wagglyscorpion]

Thank you. Going to try this out, and maybe be motivated to finally stick to a healthy lifestyle.

[kathrynwillis]

Dr. Berg is definitely following us. LOL. I literally took a test last night to see if I have a UTI. That is where I learned about Leukocytes, last night on the packaging. I do have a UTI, when I saw this video just now, I froze in my steps, especially at the beginning because I saw what looked like the word Leukocytes on the board behind him. Lol. What makes this more funny is that I had tried to find a video on YTIs during menopause especially last night from Dr. Berg, then today bam here is a video on this. Thank you add. Berg, you are the human version of google, Web M.D., and the encyclopedia all rolled into one. Thank you for your studying and sharing of so many topics vital to health. I’m so glad God gave you the knowledge to teach people about the human body.
