The urinary tract includes the urethra, the bladder, the\nureter and the kidneys.Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) are 50 times more common\nin women and conditions can range from cystitis (a mild but disturbing\ninflammation that is limited to the bladder) to severe infections of the\nkidneys. This test will screen for the presence of any protein, nitrites or\nleukocytes in your urine. The presence of these components may indicate a\nbacterial infection of the bladder. REMEMBER: If the test is positive be sure\nto consult your doctor. Why do I need this test? It is mostly women who suffer\nfrom urinary infections, since the short urethra favours the penetration of\ngerms. Around 11% of women get a urinary infection every year. However,\nelderly males are also affected if they have an enlarged prostate which is\nobstructing the flow of urine. In healthy people, urine is sterile (i.e. it\ndoes not contain any micro-organisms). One of the best ways to keep your\nurinary tract sterile is to empty your bladder completely at regular\nintervals. Generally, an infection starts in the urethra and may then spread\ninto the upper urinary tract as far as the kidneys. Read more What are the\nsymptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection? The symptoms vary considerably,\ndepending on whether the lower urinary tract or both the lower tract and the\nupper tract are affected. With infections of the lower urinary tract, there is\na sensation of burning when emptying the bladder, or a strong urge to urinate.\nThe urine may also be cloudy or have a strong odour. If the bladder is also\naffected, this is known as cystitis (a mild but unpleasant bladder\ninflammation). Where the upper urinary tract is infected, the symptoms may be\nsimilar, but in addition there may be pain in the lower back, high temperature\nand shivering, and the condition may in extreme cases require hospitalisation.\nMedical handling depends on the precise factors and circumstances of the\nillness; patients often respond quickly to antibiotic treatment. How are\nurinary-tract infections (UTIs) identified? Generally, first of all test\nstrips are used; these are dipped in a urine sample to detect any signs of an\ninfection: white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites (many bacteria not\nnormally present in urine convert nitrate from food into nitrite) and in\nsevere infection cases blood will be present. If any of these signs are\npresent, a more detailed investigation of both the urine and the patient will\nbe required. Please note: It is recommended that, for the test, a sample of\nurine be taken first thing in the morning, since early-morning urine is the\nmost concentrated. The urine used for the test should not come into contact\nwith water from the toilet or any disinfectant or cleaning substances. For\nwomen only: The test should not be performed during or for three days after\nyour menstrual period. The urine sample should not be contaminated with\nvaginal fluids since this may produce a misleading result. What are the\nadvantages of the One Step Health Test? The One Step urine test is a useful\nindicator for health or disease, as the composition of the urine shows a\nsignificant change in a variety of diseases or infections. Because the urine\ntest is easy to do at home, it can be part of a routine health check. It is a\nuseful tool, that may give general guidance on the health and helps in the\ndetection of diseases or infections of the kidney, liver or heart. To\ndetermine a deviation from the standard values, we recommend doing the test\nover the following days. For a constant deviation over several days, we\nrecommend consulting a doctor.
