Only 1 in 15 urine dipstick tests showing proteinuria in the primary care setting are followed up with albuminuria quantification testing, according to investigators. These findings expose a broad gap ...

Scientists have developed a urine diagnostic to detect the parasitic worms that cause river blindness, also called onchocerciasis, a tropical disease that afflicts 18 to 120 million people worldwide.

Tsukuba, Japan – As the saying goes, “the sooner the better,” and such is the case for the detection of kidney and urological diseases. Early detection is key, and may be achieved through the use of a ...

Point-of-care urine dipstick demonstrated higher sensitivity (90.2%) and specificity (92.6%) than laboratory urinalysis for diagnosing urinary tract infection (UTI) in febrile infants aged 2-6 months.

Urinalysis tests are simple, cost-effective ways to get results for any number of biomarkers, from measuring glucose to determining whether an individual has an infection. However, the tests can ...

Urine dipstick alone (without urine microscopy) is an adequate screening test for febrile infants aged 1–90 days with suspected UTI, according to a recent study from researchers in Salt Lake City, ...

Soon you will be able to perform a bacterial culture at home to test for urinary tract infection (UTI), with clinical-level results. A "digital dipstick" developed by researchers at KTH Royal ...

Urinalysis is one of the most frequently ordered diagnostic tests, critical for identifying conditions like urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, and diabetes. However, traditional dipstick ...

Very few patients with abnormal urine protein dipstick results have albuminuria measured as recommended by clinical guidelines. A real-world US study documents shortfalls in follow-up care after ...

A negative urinalysis for microscopic hematuria is reported in up to 18% of cases of urolithiasis. Argyropoulos and colleagues have carried out a single-center, retrospective study to investigate ...

Scientists at Scripps Research have developed a urine diagnostic to detect the parasitic worms that cause river blindness, also called onchocerciasis, a tropical disease that afflicts 18 to 120 ...
