PRIMA Urinary Tract Infections Test is intended for anyone who wants to check the presence of leukocytes, blood, nitrates or proteins in the urine, indicating a possible infection in progress.
The test should be performed in the presence of one or more of the following symptoms: frequent urination, burning when urinating, turbid and/or smell urine. It is recommended to use the test kit with the first urine in the morning.
Urinary tract infection is one of the most frequent pathologies affecting this area. The symptoms can be very different such as burning, constant urge to urinate and in severe cases, lower back pain, fever and flu.
The urinary tract includes the upper urinary ducts, bladder, urinary ducts and renal pelvis. Generally, the infection originates in the urinary duct and then extends to the upper urinary tract until it reaches the kidneys. It is mainly women who suffer from it, due to the short urinary ducts that favor the penetration of pathogenic germs. Men are affected especially in old age, as an enlarged prostate could prevent urine from flowing out.
PRIMA Urinary Tract Infections Test consists of plastic strips on which different reactive areas are applied. The test is intended for qualitative and semi-quantitative detection of leukocytes, blood, nitrates and proteins in urine.
