Home Tests for UTI Using “Urine Dipstick” with Dr. Robert Chan at Home

[@bananadave]

The best video on this subject I've seen so far. There's so much misinformation around it's quite shocking.

[@ajmalm5949]

This video has made convenient for most people to acess the results of urinalysis

[@jaasielgonzalez1424]

Thanks Doctor Chan. Really helpful. I am going to be starting my new job as a medical assistant and I appreciate the knowledge you have instilled.

[@jd1338]

Clear, precise and informative 👌

[@DrRobertChan]

Glad you think so!

[@isiomawizzy3669]

Thanks for this simplified explanation. Well appreciated.....

[@NewParentsInTraining]

Nice, this is really convenient! Thank you for the info!

[@florencethenp3512]

Short and simple to understand, thank you.

[@DrRobertChan]

Glad it was helpful!

[@starspun345]

How long are the readings valid for? Can you still accept the result after the strip has dried for example 30 mins later?

[@margewyatt1743]

I join the people who have thanked you😊

Hey doctor I got a blood and urine test and everything was normal but I still have a lot of foam in the urine

[@powerofloveism]

Every time I check at home on my own my Leukocytes are 500+++ so I mentioned it to my doctor and he asked for a sample right then and there in his office, his back was to the nurse and she dipped the strips in and pulled out three it in the garbage and said it was normal she didn't even look at it, his back was to her so he doesn't know . She did not even wait the two minutes so he came back in to the examining room saying well it all looks good now your test was negative and here I am at home still testing daily and still positive 500+++ results and extremely fatigued, I don't know what to do so I started taking photo's of my strips using my cell phone so I can show my doctor next time I see him. His nurse didn't even look at the strip but I didn't want to start anything in the office between her and the doctor. I am not well often though. What should I do? is 500+++ serious , i don't have Nitrites.

[@DrRobertChan]

that's really interesting. you should prob go get a second opinion if they are truly doing that with the test strips. ..

[@bibighufrania6624]

Do urine culture

[@TRIA99]

Go to another doctor

[@germanshepherdmom1143]

Dr. I’ve been having a uti for almost 2 months. The at home test came back positive for L. But the office test came back negative. My doctor refuses to prescribe antibiotics.

Thank you. Very specific and well detailed.

Hi doctor , I have the dipsticks and have been testing myself for about 5 years and been getting some blood positive that comes and goes I can't visibly see the blood though. No symptoms I'm 38.

[@DrRobertChan]

I would totally check in with your doctor and see if they recommend any further workup...

[@missbritishchick]

Hi doctor. I recently did a home UTI test. The test said my blood level was 80 ery. Does that mean positive for blood. ?

[@taniacampbell7609]

Wooow so clear thank you .

[@DrRobertChan]

You’re welcome 😊

[@JillyJillable]

What if all the other boxes are normal and the only one positive is leukocytes? Does that still indicate a UTI? I have to wait over a month to see a urologist, so I was just wondering to have an idea what that means..

[@DrRobertChan]

urine culture is more definitive. i'd check in with a walk in urgent care. they can send off a urine.

[@XxjLuma94Xx]

Did you ever get an answer? I am in the Same situation where i am getting positive for leukocytes and nothing else . Planning to see a urologist as well

[@Kamaawp]

The mid left part of my back been hurting for the past few days

[@saqidd56]

hi will urine test show I have infection even though I don't have uti but injured urethra. please reply

[@laibahhussain1694]

Will you get some medicine for it

[@heatherbradley7648]

Just wondering, are we not also looking for protein in a UTI as well as the three you highlighted?

[@DrRobertChan]

I usually don't pay that much attention to protein for UTI. It tends not to be as a reliable indicator. although it can sometimes be high when patients have a UTI, but normal when they don't...

[@TRIA99]

I had uti, protein was a bit off because of uti

[@TRIA99]

Ph too

[@leewilliamholmes]

Hi Doctor is it possible to send you a picture of my test i have just done i cant read it at all

[@DrRobertChan]

hi lee, i can't offer individualized assistance. if you have any symptoms, I'd probably set up an in person appointment with your primary care doc and they can check your urine....

[@laibahhussain1694]

What if it is not right

[@barbarab202]

Leukocytes seem to be measured as “ca cells/ul” (as noted on the dip stick keys). What does the “ca” stand for? Cancer??? Can these decrease without having cancer? And what does moderate mean for leukocytes? Is that for numbers or size of cells?

[@kamzrulz123456789]

Hi Doctor, Can I use this on pregnant women? Thanks

[@ShitStainedBallSack]

Yes lol

[@laibahhussain1694]

I’ve got this problem

[@chesneyhill736]

How do we know if it’s UTI?

[@DrRobertChan]

a urine culture ultimately gives the most definitive information

[@chiku9437]

Hi dr my protein urion test 1000mcg10mg is high and urion sugar 111 is high pls help me

[@TRIA99]

Go to doctor, you may have uti

[@michellepetros8491]

You can just look under a microscope. I wish someone was showing people how to look under microscopes for health problems.

[@nikelegend1294]

Can they see nicotine in your system?

[@DrRobertChan]

not on these urine dipsticks.

[@nikelegend1294]

@@DrRobertChan thank you so much I have a uti and I need tested tomorrow
