100 x 10-in-1 Parameter Urine Test Strips | Glucose, Ketone, Bilirubin, Nitrite, Urobilinogen, Protein, pH, Blood, Specific Gravity and Leukocytes Dipstick Tests

These strips are good quality, work very well and they have so many, making them very good value for money. I will definetly buy them again when needed. Highly recommended.

Good product to have on hand if like me you are at high risk of kidney disease or are at risk of diabetes/have diabetes. I shall only be concerned with blood, protein levels for kidney as high levels of either of these will prompt me to get further testing from GP - I think there is a real market for regular self-home health monitoring post-Covid as more often than not, it can save the GP surgeries time if a trip to the surgery can be avoided if not essential. The strips are easy to use, just wait 60s and compare the colour of the tiles on the strip to the chart that is enclosed with the bottle of test strips to see if any of the tiles are above the expected average and if so by how much.EDITDue to ongoing health issues, I have had several early morning urine tests at the hospital in recent weeks and they have produced the same result as my early morning home dipstick tests, so I am happy with the accuracy. It maybe worth mentioning that urine analyses can vary depending on the time of day. Most of my Doctors have requested early morning samples which is why I do the same at home However, I can only speak from my own experience but anyone with blood (other than that caused by periods of course) or protein in the urine at all should seek prompt professional medical advice, likewise for the presence of glucose - these home dipsticks are only a first port of call, (rather like monitoring your BP at home) not for self-diagnosis or ruling out any ongoing concerns. Even when my tests have been normal, I have still sought telephone advice to waylay any concerns if I have other symptoms I am worried about eg. pain or signs of infection etc.

Use these for urine tests, same as used in GP surgery, easy to read, I monitor my kidney function for UTI ( Urinary Tract infections) will also warn you if there is Glucise/ auger in your urine, obviously it should not be there. So it’s a good way to alert you to changes in this regard. Keep tight seal and cool of the sticks can go off.

Being prone to UTI’s I’m allowed to keep antibiotics in at home for when I get an infection. Now obviously I don’t want to take antibiotics unnecessarily so I wanted to be sure I actually had an infection before taking anything. I came across these and thought they might do the job. I’m really pleased with them. They are very simple to use. You dip the whole strip into a mid flow urine sample for no more than 2 seconds. You will need a tallish container ( I have a small test tube). You tap off excess urine onto some tissue being careful not to touch the coloured side of the strip and then wait 60 seconds. In fairness if I have an infection it doesn’t take that long to show. There is a chart on the bottle that shows the varying results but a reviewer has taken the time to write out what everything means in easy to understand terms. I’ve actually printed off this review and keep it with the test strips as it’s truly brilliant. Thanks to that reviewer for taking the time and I’d recommend everyone reads that review as it’s more helpful than the chart on the bottle. I was happy to pay for these despite knowing I won’t use them all before they are out of date. It’s worth it for peace of mind. I suppose it would be brilliant if you could buy say 10 strips for a lower cost but it wouldn’t stop me ordering these again. I’m glad I ordered them.

The results are immediate and save waiting around in unknown - is the infection cleared? is there blood? In a few minutes the answer to both was NO and this is so useful (rather than waiting a day for a nurse to test or a week for a lab result). A helpful reviewer left detailed instructions which I cut and paste. In the end I was only looking for 1st box and 6th box - infection and blood. Once I had orietated myself, Now I can instantly recognise the good news of 2 negative results and it is immensely reassuring. Today saw Urologist consultant and showed him the product and admitted I got it from Amazon - thought he would tell me off, but infact he said 'good' - its what we use! So highly recommend if wanting own instant test for UTI infection, blood in urine or recovery from both. Thanks to all the other reviewers for the thumbs up that got me onto this!Also fyi - mine had 18m shelf life - to nov25
