How To Read Urine Test Strips

Here is a quick video that shows you how to read your urine test strips. These particular strips by Med Lab Diagnostics have 11 different parameters you can test to track your health. Follow the steps in the video to quickly and easily read your urine strips. These strips test for Leukocyte, Nitrite, Urobilinogen, Protein, pH, Blood, Specific Gravity, Ascorbate, Ketones, Bilirubin, and Glucose.
*Make sure to read the results against the chart with the leukocyte pad facing up*.

If you are in need of some good quality urine test strips, you can get these here:

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.

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

Great simple explanation. Better than urologist I just watched

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

[eromoseoyakhirome]

Thank you, the video was helpful and on point

[RMRM]

Excellent presentation!!!! Thanks very much.

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.

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....

[reginasanchez]

This was very helpful. Good job explaining

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