Urinalysis Strips (also known as urine reagent strips or dipsticks) are diagnostic tools used to detect and monitor a wide range of health conditions by analyzing a patient’s urine. They are simple, fast, and non-invasive, making them a common first-line test in clinical and home healthcare settings.
Description:
Function: Urinalysis strips are used to quickly test for the presence and levels of various substances in urine, including glucose, protein, ketones, blood, pH, bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrites, and leukocytes. The strip contains chemical pads that change color based on the urine's content, providing an easy visual indication of abnormal values.
