Tests for 14 Indicators

• Urobilinogen

  Urobilinogen is formed from the reduction of bilirubin. Bilirubin is a yellowish substance found in your liver that helps break down red blood cells. Normal urine contains some urobilinogen. If there is little or no urobilinogen in urine, it can mean your liver isn't working correctly. This home liver test can give you insight into the function of your liver.

• Bilirubin

  Bilirubin is a product of red blood cell breakdown. Normally, bilirubin is carried in the blood and passes into your liver, where it's removed and becomes part of bile. This at home test for Bilirubin in your urine may indicate fatty liver, liver damage, disease, or evidence of infection.

• Ketones

  If your cells don't get enough glucose, your body burns fat for energy instead. This produces a substance called ketones, which can show up in your blood and urine. High ketone levels in urine may indicate diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), a complication of diabetes that can lead to some serious health issues.

• Creatinine

  Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles from the breakdown of a compound called creatine. Creatinine is removed from the body by the kidneys, which filter almost all of it from the blood and release it into the urine. This at home kidney function test measures the amount of creatinine in the blood and/or urine.

• Blood in Urine

  This is your Kidney Stone Test and also a Bladder Stone Test. Your kidneys or other parts of your Urinary Tract can sometimes allow blood cells to leak into urine. Various problems can cause this leakage, including: Kidney Stones & Urinary tract infections. These occur when bacteria enter your body through the urethra and multiply in your bladder. This also is a test for kidney stones that is most often an indicator of Kidney Stones and if stones are forming.

• Protein

  When you have protein in your urine, it is called proteinuria (or albuminuria). Having protein in your urine can be a sign of nephrotic syndrome, or an early sign of bad kidney health or kidney disease. Anyone can have protein in their urine.

• Micro Albumin

  A urine micro albumin test is a test to detect very small levels of a blood protein (albumin) in your urine. A microalbumin or Kidney Urinalysis Test is used to detect early signs of kidney damage in people who are at risk of developing kidney disease.

• Nitrites

  Normal urine contains nitrates. If bacteria enter the urinary tract, nitrates can turn into different, similarly named chemicals called nitrites. Nitrites in urine may be a sign of a UTI or urinary tract infection.

• Leukocytes

  If you test your urine and find too many leukocytes, it could be a sign of a Urinary Tract Infection. Leukocytes are white blood cells that help your body fight germs. When you have more of these than usual in your urine, it's often a sign of a problem somewhere in your urinary tract.

• Glucose Test

  The normal amount of glucose in urine is 0 to 0.8 mmol/L (millimoles per liter). A higher measurement could be a sign of a health problem. Diabetes is the most common cause of elevated glucose levels. If you have high glucose levels, your should see the doctor so they can perform a simple blood test to confirm the diagnosis.

• Specific Gravity

  Specific Gravity is a reflection of how well the kidneys are filtering, or the GFR (Glomerular Filtration Rate). Ideally, urine specific gravity results will fall between 1.002 and 1.030 if your kidneys are functioning normally. Specific gravity results above 1.010 can indicate mild dehydration. The higher the number, the more dehydrated you may be.

• pH Test

  A determinate of the acidic or alkaline state of the urine. A neutral pH is 7.0. The higher the number, the more basic (alkaline) it is. The lower the number, the more acidic your urine is. The average urine sample tests at about 6.0.

• Ascorbate ( Vitamin C )

  Ascorbic acid, otherwise known as vitamin C, can be found in various foods and supplements. It is also a common interferent with urine chemistry reagent pads. When a urine sample has high levels of ascorbic acid, the reagent pads for blood, glucose, nitrite, and bilirubin may not react properly.

• Calcium

  If urine calcium levels are too high or too low, it may mean you have a medical condition, such as kidney disease or kidney stones. Kidney stones are hard, pebble-like substances that can form in one or both kidneys when calcium or other minerals build up in the urine. Most kidney stones are formed from calcium.
