WHEW! glad i watched this haha, had bought some like a year ago and just tried em tonight randomly and my leukocytes where super purple! freaked out a lil and This was the first vid i pulled up and ur intro made me look at an unused strip, they are all bad/expired hah.
Please delete/ignore 2:44-2:50 when the narrator says you can skip the individual timing of the tests and read the whole strip at 2 minutes. That approach will give false positives or erroneous test results. The little numbers are there for a reason. The reason is that that is when each test is accurate. The chemical reactions that cause the color changes continue to darken over time. So if you wait until 2 minutes some of the test pads may have gone several shades darker from where the true result is.
I'm glad I came here to watched this very informative video. I thought there was something strange about those strips I bought as soon as I first opened them though they weren't expired. They were probably an ebay purchase that was already opened before I got them. So I won't be buying anymore of these or any strips from ebay anymore. Very informative video.
I use a clean desiccant pouch / canister in the urine strip bottle to attempt to extend strip life.and, then store the strip bottle away from the bathroom, in a low place, to avoid heat.
Stick is very sensitive to light, moisture and temperature. Your hand might be moist, hot and it can affect reading significantly and decreases shelf life. I am registered nurse. People tend to forget to check colour, clarity of urune and straightforward dip the stick which I feel it's wrong practice.
I needed to know if the test strips can be purchased at your neighbor hood pharmacy,? Also I needed to know if your acidity or your alkaline reads positive turn brown or neutral what color on ph
Does this result not concern. Does this not mean that you have an unknown Kidney disfunction esp. if this is a constant over many months. You should be at the opposite end of the scale. Females are a little higher on the PH but not at the other end of the chart.
GREAT demonstration! I just performed this test with a similar brand (11-point test) because last week, on a much simpler home test, I tested as having a UTI. All was normal this time (after antibiotics) except S.G.--way off. I will have to search elsewhere to know what that means and whether it's important. MAY call your company number if I have no luck, so thank you for providing contact info.
What di the numbers on the right mean . Those above the colours. I dont mean the ones that tells you how many seconds it will take . I mean the ones on the right above the coloured boxex on the bottle.
So if the ph of the strip doesn't change, what does that mean? Not sure if strips I bought are bad, or ? Skipping between 4, and beginning at untested strip to see the change? Thank you.
When I use a test strip I get inconclusive results if you can call it that... My leukocyte 'square' turns fairly deep purple in the middle, but remains its original 'white' color towards the rims. My protein 'square' is also weird and goes dark blue/green in the rims, but remains its original color in the middle. Are these false positives or not? I've had these for a few months now so I'm guessing it's nothing of importance really. But it still confuses me as to how I'm supposed to interpret it, while the other 'squares' behaves like they're supposed to de. Do any of you have an idea of what I should do about this?
All can be Related if Protien is High and if you Pee Foam into a Clear Glass get your Kidney Function Checked out.. Kidney Disease is very much on the Rise around the World..
I am using the URS-10 test that checks for microalbumin and the color is a much brighter blue than the colors on the chart. The protein is negative. It remains yellow, but I’m concerned about this sky blue microalbumin result. Is this unusual or can these strips be inconsistent for checking microalbumin? Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
Wouldn't you start at the bottom, 30 secs, then up to 60 sec items etc and you have to keep up. Should have someone else watching the clock, recording the results. I think she said just wait the 120 to do them all which would be a big blunder.
I really wish you would center the bottle when you go through the test. Towards the middle to end of the video you just keep it slanted and don't spin it one by one for the results. I was waiting specifically for some of the other tests and didn't get a good look at them and you kinda hurried through talking about the rest of them. I'm confused about how to read the creatine and wish you were as thorough speaking about that as you were with the first rhings
Lovely Video! Forgive me for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Fanebastianor Phrenic Formula (probably on Google)? It is a smashing one of a kind guide for eradicating your gout problem without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my friend after many years got astronomical success with it.
Positive protein result… does that mean you have protein in your urine? Which means you are eating unused protein? Which would be the goal if you were a bodybuilder? i.e. you’re getting enough protein in your diet, not deficient?
Is your Urine Foamy when you Urine into a Clear Glass?? NOT the Toilet.. If so and with the High Reading on the Strip.. You should have your Kidney Function Checked.. CREATININE and GFR.. PRONTO.. I have Stage 3a CKD. I have Maintained this Level for 5 years with Diet and Distilled Water. Tap Water isnt anywhere Near Safe to Drink Everywhere.. And you can have CKD without Pain or many other Symptoms.
No, protein shouldnt be in urine. Its the kidneys job to mantain the protein in the body (even at large amounts), if you got protein in your urine you should check with a doc
It is also noted on the bottle, to NOT TOUCH the TEST STRIP AREAS; which you do in the video. It can cause inaccurate results.
Great simple explanation. Better than urologist I just watched

I agree! I think you need to read the strip within 30 seconds
You’ve got to explain what each test is for. Thanks

Wish you went into detail about that off the chart protein reading
Thank you for your simple explanation 👍👍

How to check Blood in Urine ? Which Parameters we should check for results? Thank you so much.
Super helpful, to the point and clear video. Thank you!
Wonderful
Thanks for your good,demostrative and understandable explainations.Keep it up.👍👍
Excellent presentation!!!! Thanks very much.
This was very helpful. Thank you.
What do all the elements mean? Which one would indicate an infection please?
Thank you, the video was helpful and on point
When is the best time to do the test is it first thing in the morning before eating or drinking anything?
Yes midstream
Stick is very sensitive to light, moisture and temperature. Your hand might be moist, hot and it can affect reading significantly and decreases shelf life. I am registered nurse. People tend to forget to check colour, clarity of urune and straightforward dip the stick which I feel it's wrong practice.
This was very helpful. Good job explaining
Yes good description but what about the results that don’t match? What do they mean?
I needed to know if the test strips can be purchased at your neighbor hood pharmacy,?
Also I needed to know if your acidity or your alkaline reads positive turn brown or neutral what color on ph
Is there a home test kit for Potassium?
Make sure to use high CRI light to compare colours. Only very high quality led lights, or halogen light, or the best - natural sunlight
Looks like my urine test, my protein was on the other end, not as much as this one, but it was up there and so was my Ph....
Nicely explained 💛
Does this result not concern. Does this not mean that you have an unknown Kidney disfunction esp. if this is a constant over many months. You should be at the opposite end of the scale. Females are a little higher on the PH but not at the other end of the chart.
Thank you! For explaining the timing
So one should be alarmed if the test result is at the very end in a category ?
GREAT demonstration! I just performed this test with a similar brand (11-point test) because last week, on a much simpler home test, I tested as having a UTI. All was normal this time (after antibiotics) except S.G.--way off. I will have to search elsewhere to know what that means and whether it's important. MAY call your company number if I have no luck, so thank you for providing contact info.
You should work for the company: "YOU CAN WAIT THE FULL 2 MINUTES BEFORE ANY EXAMINATION" THANK YOU!
You never mentioned what the ideal reading or colour should be. How would one know when a reading looks normal or is a cause for concern?
Very well explained.
Thankyou
Thanks for sharine How t write all the the results of each
If it matches the colour is that good or bad??
You must use hansker( glove).
Doesn't high Protein indicate Kidney problems?
What di the numbers on the right mean . Those above the colours. I dont mean the ones that tells you how many seconds it will take . I mean the ones on the right above the coloured boxex on the bottle.
Thank you for this. Does it matter at what time you test after a meal when testing for protein? Cheers.
Very clever strips
Are these test strips valid for someone who has been eating a carnivore diet for three years?
Great help thank you
thank you it helped me and my friend mr wassim jaffel thank youuuuuuuuu
Are you and mr wassim jaffe still friends after posting this comment?
@@myemperor omg🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
When you’re waiting for the colours to change. Is it that one of the colours changes and that gives you your reading
Are there any pacific jobs dealing with urnylasis

Thank you ma'am
Thank you! Super helpful!
Thank you for the video
Thankyou very informotive,can I use the Glacometer to test Urine as wel/??
No, those are only used for blood glucose.
What if the protein was trace is it a bad sign or normal
What if my protein is pad is pretty much all negative except for the very very edges? Happened twice now.
Well explained. Thank you so much
Very helpful
that was awesome!! thanku!!
What color would it be if I have a UTI?
So if the ph of the strip doesn't change, what does that mean? Not sure if strips I bought are bad, or ? Skipping between 4, and beginning at untested strip to see the change?
Thank you.

I’ve had the same issue with the protein one. Thin blueish line on the bottom but normal color on the rest of it
Me too!! Any word on what this means?
Up
Are you sure they are not to Old
@@ethancrosby7389 Me too. Did you find the answer ? Thank you
I,m wondering why my ERY showed lira instead of yellow
This was helpful
My question is if the colour on the text strip is the same thing ...which one is negative and positive
Rewatch the video, she explains it
Which pad shows kidney function test. Are negative results always good
All can be Related if Protien is High and if you Pee Foam into a Clear Glass get your Kidney Function Checked out.. Kidney Disease is very much on the Rise around the World..
Life saver!! Thank you
If the strips last 60 to 90 days. So really, it’s not advisable to buy a pack with a 100 strips ?
What if only the edge of the dipstick changed color ? for example for protein : the square stay yellow but one edge blue
Mine did that too. What does it mean
JUST COMPLETED TEST AND THAT SHOWS BLOOD Colour result of +++200 and S.G colour result of 1030 please can you explain what that means
Which color indicates pregnancy?
How do I know that maybe blood Is positive or negative
Thank you!
You're welcome!
What if you get 2 different colors?
Brilliantly explained
Thank you.
You're very welcome!
So is negative good I’m confused
Yes negative is good.
Of course negative would be good
how many minutes does a strip stays on the flat surface
Which color indicates you have weed in your system
Much thanks! Also this is such a gross test to be carried at home. X(
also you put the bottle right where the urine was on the tissue.
It's urine, take it easy haha. I can't imagine how you can live like that.
Excellent
Thank you
What indicates an infection?
Leucocytes and nitrites
I am using the URS-10 test that checks for microalbumin and the color is a much brighter blue than the colors on the chart. The protein is negative. It remains yellow, but I’m concerned about this sky blue microalbumin result. Is this unusual or can these strips be inconsistent for checking microalbumin?

Mine do the same thing. I don't think these are accurate honestly.
Thankyou!❤

You are correct. She's wrong. Take the readings at the stipulated times as they will continue to change colours after those times have passed.
You can not touch strip by bare hands
What does a speckled pattern on blood pad mean? Can't find the answer anywhere
Thats what I was wanting to know I think its better then solid
@@gbany100 it's actually not too good~ it's non hemolyzed RBC
Is a dry cool place a fridge?
I was wondering the same thing!
" look aside pad" how about "top pad"... other wise very informative....
that protien is very high possible kidney damage or chronic protein leaking
Is yellow in protein good?
yes

Hi, I read my strip after about an hour because I got called away. Is it still accurate?
nope
Thanks

Any urine test protein results showing even trace amounts, could be medications or possible kidney problems (disease)
Good ❤❤
It would have been awesome if she had said “ oh man, I’m pregnant! “
Wonderful thank you, if possible could you look at mine? It would be massively appreciated.
Hello, please message us a picture of your strip at info@medlabdiagnostics.org and we will be happy to look at the results for you.
Med Lab Diagnostics found mercury in my blood and I’m not a seafood eater, nor am I working in that industry.
Ok but can this test for marijuana?
No, they cannot
