About, Preparation, Test Results & More

When a person reports to a doctor with Urine Sensitivity problems, the first thing the doctor would ask to do is go for a Urine Routine test. What Is Urine Culture Test? A Urine Culture test is basically a test done to figure out if there any types of germs in the Urine which could lead to infection.




The objective of the Urine culture test is to detect if there are any fungi or bacteria in the Urinary tract and provide suggestive medications to stop the growth on an immediate basis. How Is Urine Culture Test Done? The Urine Culture and Sensitivity test is done by collecting the Urine Sample in a clean sterilized hygienic bottle; preferably empty stomach early in the morning. First, the Urine Routine results are declared post 14-16 hours of the test being conducted. For the Urine Culture report, one has to wait for 48 - 72 hours for the report to be declared. The Urine Sample is kept in the Laboratory for 2-3 days, and a lab worker will keep a close check on it.


Adulteration is the tampering of a urine sample in order to produce a desired result. There are many adulterants that are on the market that try to do this. Adulterants can either create false negatives or destroy the drugs in the urine, or both. People also try to dilute urine in order to get a false negative result. Fortunately, drug tests are ready to take this challenge on. One of the best ways to test for urine sample adulteration or dilution is to determine certain urinary characteristics such as pH, specific gravity, oxidants/PCC, nitrite, glutaraldehyde and creatinine. H: This tests for the presence of acidic or alkaline adulterants in urine. Normal pH levels should be between 4.0 and 9.0. If outside this range, the sample may have been altered. Specific gravity: This tests for sample dilution. The normal range is between 1.003 to 1.030. If the value is not within this range it may be the result of dilution or adulteration. Oxidants/PCC: This tests for the presence of oxidizing agents such as bleach and hydrogen peroxide.


AHS has a computerized program, which generates the selections based on the customer’s preference. AHS will send kits and chain of custody forms to each collection/testing site(s) the customer plans to use. In addition, AHS will send chain of custody forms to its customers to have on hand in case a collection/testing site runs out by accident. AHS works closely with all collection/testing sites that its customers use. In accordance with federal regulations, AHS conducts regularly scheduled supervisory training at various locations, which are open to all of its customers. The supervisory training meets the required two-hour training DOT requires on "reasonable suspicion" testing. In addition, AHS can conduct on-site training at its customer's location(s). NOTE: For AHS EAP customers, this mandated training can be part of your EAP training modules. AHS has developed a vast network of DOT qualified Substance Abuse Professionals (SAPs) to evaluate and assess employees who test positive. As it relates to urine drug test results, LabCorp’s system is designed to provide 24 hour reporting of all screened negative immunoassays. https://vnhealth24.blogspot.com/2019/08/ketone-bodies-urine.html A urine pH test measures the pH (acidity) of urine. Urine pH is used to classify urine as either a dilute acid or base solution. Seven is the point of neutrality on the pH scale. The lower the pH, the greater the acidity of a solution; the higher the pH, the greater the alkalinity. The glomerular filtrate of blood is usually acidified by the kidneys from a pH of approximately 7.4 to a pH of about 6 in the urine. Depending on the person's acid-base status, the pH of urine may range from 4.5 to 8. The kidneys maintain normal acid-base balance primarily through the reabsorption of sodium and the tubular secretion of hydrogen and ammonium ions. Urine becomes increasingly acidic as the amount of sodium and excess acid retained by the body increases. Alkaline urine, usually containing bicarbonate-carbonic acid buffer, is normally excreted when there is an excess of base or alkali in the body.


 As the test paper is moistened, it will take on a color. The color relates to the acid or alkaline state of your urine or saliva and ranges from yellow to dark blue. Match the color of your test strip with the chart provided on the back of your test kit. A number below 7 means that your urine is on the acid side. The lower the number, the more acidic the condition. At first, most people will have low pH readings due to the acid-forming tendency of the standard American diet. In this case, increase your intake of vegetables, fruits, root crops, nuts, seeds and spices, striving to get 80% of your nutrition from these alkalizing foods. You can find more details on the acid or alkaline forming nature of the various foods in The Acid-Alkaline Food Guide. A highly alkaline reading is likely due to catabolism, the process of breakdown of body tissue which triggers excess nitrogen in the urine.
