12 Parameter Urine Test Strips Kidney Function & Diabetes Screening (Microalbumin, Creatinine, Protein, Glucose, Ketones, Blood)
12 Parameter Urine Test Strips
12 parameter urine test strips provide one of the broadest urinalysis panels available for home and professional urine screening. A single strip can check 12 different markers relating to urinary health, hydration, glucose and ketone levels, kidney-related indicators, liver-related indicators and general metabolic health.
They are a good choice for customers who want a more comprehensive urine test rather than checking only one or two individual markers.
Our 12 parameter urine test strips test for:
- Leukocytes
- Nitrite
- Urobilinogen
- Glucose
- pH
- Specific gravity
- Ketones
- Bilirubin
- Protein
- Microalbumin
- Creatinine
- Blood
What These Parameters May Indicate
Leukocytes: The test pad detects an enzyme associated with white blood cells. A positive result may be linked to inflammation or infection in the urinary tract.
Nitrite: Certain bacteria can produce nitrites in urine. This marker is commonly used as part of urinary tract screening, although a negative result does not completely rule out infection.
Urobilinogen: A substance formed during the breakdown and processing of red blood cells. It is commonly included as a liver-related indicator.
Glucose: Detects glucose, or sugar, in urine. Raised levels may be associated with glucose metabolism issues and should be discussed with a healthcare professional.
pH: Shows whether the urine is more acidic or alkaline. Results can be influenced by diet, hydration, medication and general health.
Specific gravity: Indicates how concentrated or diluted the urine sample is and may provide information about hydration status.
Ketones: Ketones are produced when the body uses fat for energy. They may be present during fasting, ketogenic diets, low-carbohydrate diets or some medical conditions.
Bilirubin: Bilirubin in urine may be used as a liver or bile-related screening indicator.
Protein: Raised protein levels may be used as part of kidney-related and general urinary health screening.
Microalbumin: Detects small quantities of albumin in urine and is commonly used as an early kidney-related screening indicator.
Creatinine: A waste product associated with normal muscle activity. Urine creatinine may be considered alongside microalbumin and other kidney-related markers.
Blood: Detects red blood cells and blood pigments in urine. A positive result can have several possible causes and may require further investigation.
These strips are best suited to customers who want the widest selection of urine markers on a single test. Urinalysis strips are screening aids and cannot diagnose a medical condition. Unexpected, strongly positive or repeated abnormal results should be discussed with a doctor, pharmacist or qualified healthcare professional.
