12 Parameter
12 Parameter Urine Test Strips
12 parameter urine test strips are broad urinalysis strips used to check a wide range of key markers in urine. They are commonly used as a quick screening aid for general urinary health, hydration status, glucose and ketone monitoring, kidney-related indicators, liver-related indicators, urinary tract indicators and metabolic health markers.
The One Step range is used by doctors, hospitals, healthcare professionals, care providers and home users across Ireland and the United Kingdom. These strips are high quality, easy to use and simple to read when compared with the colour chart supplied.
These 12 parameter urine test strips test for:
- Leukocytes
- Nitrite
- Urobilinogen
- Glucose
- pH
- Specific Gravity
- Ketone
- Bilirubin
- Protein
- Microalbumin
- Creatinine
- Blood
What these parameters may indicate:
- Leukocytes: May indicate white blood cells in urine, commonly used as a urinary tract indicator.
- Nitrite: May indicate the presence of certain bacteria that can produce nitrites in urine.
- Urobilinogen: A by-product of red blood cell breakdown, commonly used as a liver-related indicator.
- Glucose: Raised glucose in urine may be associated with glucose metabolism issues.
- pH: Shows whether urine is more acidic or alkaline. High or low pH can be influenced by diet, hydration, medication or health factors.
- Specific Gravity: Shows urine concentration. High specific gravity may suggest more concentrated urine, while low specific gravity may suggest more diluted urine.
- Ketone: Raised ketones may indicate the body is using fat for energy, commonly seen during fasting, low-carbohydrate diets or ketosis.
- Bilirubin: May be used as a liver-related indicator.
- Protein: Raised protein in urine may be used as a kidney-related or urinary tract indicator.
- Microalbumin: Detects small amounts of albumin in urine and is commonly used as a kidney-related indicator.
- Creatinine: A waste product linked to muscle activity and kidney filtration. Used alongside other urine markers.
- Blood: May indicate the presence of blood in urine and is commonly used as a general urinary health indicator.
