5 Parameter Urinalysis Test at Home

What is urinalysis?

A urinalysis is a test of your urine. Urine is produced by the kidneys. The kidneys filter wastes out of the blood, help regulate the amount of water in the body and conserve a balanced level of proteins, electrolytes, and other compounds that the body can reuse. Urine is one of the most valuable biomarkers to assess health. Therefore, by examining the composition of urine, many disorders can be detected.
How can at-home urine testing help?

A home-use urinalysis strip can enable you to monitor your health from the convenience of your home. Going to a medical professional for a urine test every time you think you have some issue can be time-consuming, expensive, and frustrating. At-home screening provides convenience and helps you stay proactive with regular and frequent urine screening, so you can get timely care when needed.
