This procedure should be done in how many minutes

I’m having terrible flank pain and I make kidney stones often. I have these test strips and I use them before I decide to seek medical attention.
This morning, I ran a strip through my urinary stream while peeing and it showed no red blood cells.
I have some clean collection cups so just now I peed and dipped the test strip into the collection container, as shown in this video. My urine is now showing a high number of red blood cells.
I had no idea that I wasn’t getting correct results from urinating directly on the strip.
Thanks for making and sharing this helpful video!

Thank you very much, I have struggled with the understanding of these strips, now I understand I will test again and see what I get..

[ellie]

Thank you so much.
I had no idea about all those different read times.

First of all, wearing gloves should be necessary. Secondly, you cannot hold the strip vertically as the guy is holding in the video, this could give false results :)

Bought the cheapest brand of pet urinalysis 10 step strips. Works pretty good for me & my cat!

Also take note of the manufacturer's "Use before date" ?

The top (leukocytes) colour on my bottle (neg) is cream, but the pad after testing is more white?

[starspun]

Ah thank you, I wanted to know if the dipstick would be valid after read time. I seem to have cleared a UTI at read time, but after read time it changed colour significantly to look like I still had Leukocytes easterase present.

[karlynmackay]

What if there’s blue on the strip but not on the protein one

[SuperLittleTyke]

All I want is to check whether a UTI is present, not wait until symptoms become apparent. I have watched three videos so far, and none gives a clear answer.

Can this also read the potassium level?

[bob-prye]

Glucose on bottom is turquoise

Count 3 Key is dark!!! It is supposed to be tan.

[Gigantortacomax]

Can this kit determine if there’s bacteria in my dogs urine?

[MK-ihwp]

My instructions (dif brand) say to read the first 9 results at 60 seconds and then the last one leukocytes read at 90 secs

[Nathan-Page]

So these test strips is not an alcohol and drug test?

[PonShankarjcb]

Fine...sorry..the test use to pipet single single drop to strip indication...the result is come out from very clear...ok..bye

Actually, this demonstration/explanation is confusing and not at all helpful!!

It does not clearly state what parameter corresponds to which patch on the strip!! Even the vial does not show on its outside label an authentic picture of a whole strip (before use) which shows, ie., marks out clearly every patch with the parameter it corresponds to and clearly stating it's original color. Moreover, the position of the indicator patch from the strip's "holding end" should be clearly indicated! Another confounding aspect is that there are actually 11 patches affixed on the strip. But the strip is meant for testing 10 parameters!! Why is there an extra patch located first from the holding end?? This is very confusing!! Why aren't the identities of each of the 10 patches for each parameter clearly indicated?? Which is the glucose patch and at which end?? Which is the LEU patch and it is at which end?
