How do I interpret my UTI Test Strips results?Updated a month ago
If Leukocytes (LEU) and Nitrite (NIT) are both negative, this suggests no sign of a UTI. However, if you are feeling symptoms of a UTI, it's still important to speak with your doctor and continue to re-test. Note: a negative test result does not completely rule out an infection.
When a trace LEU result appears or if you have symptoms, test again the following day with your first morning urine using a new test strip. If you get another trace LEU or if you still have symptoms, consult your physician.
If one result is negative and one result is positive, this suggests you may have a UTI. Repeat the test next time you urinate using a new test strip. Make sure you wash the genital area first. If one result is still positive, consult your physician.
If results are both positive, this suggests you may have a UTI. Consult your physician immediately.
