Here is a quick video that shows you how to read your urine test strips. These particular strips by Med Lab Diagnostics have 11 different parameters you can test to track your health. Follow the steps in the video to quickly and easily read your urine strips. These strips test for Leukocyte, Nitrite, Urobilinogen, Protein, pH, Blood, Specific Gravity, Ascorbate, Ketones, Bilirubin, and Glucose.
*Make sure to read the results against the chart with the leukocyte pad facing up*.
If you are in need of some good quality urine test strips, you can get these here:

It is also noted on the bottle, to NOT TOUCH the TEST STRIP AREAS; which you do in the video. It can cause inaccurate results.

Please delete/ignore 2:44-2:50 when the narrator says you can skip the individual timing of the tests and read the whole strip at 2 minutes. That approach will give false positives or erroneous test results. The little numbers are there for a reason. The reason is that that is when each test is accurate. The chemical reactions that cause the color changes continue to darken over time. So if you wait until 2 minutes some of the test pads may have gone several shades darker from where the true result is.

Stick is very sensitive to light, moisture and temperature. Your hand might be moist, hot and it can affect reading significantly and decreases shelf life. I am registered nurse. People tend to forget to check colour, clarity of urune and straightforward dip the stick which I feel it's wrong practice.

GREAT demonstration! I just performed this test with a similar brand (11-point test) because last week, on a much simpler home test, I tested as having a UTI. All was normal this time (after antibiotics) except S.G.--way off. I will have to search elsewhere to know what that means and whether it's important. MAY call your company number if I have no luck, so thank you for providing contact info.

Does this result not concern. Does this not mean that you have an unknown Kidney disfunction esp. if this is a constant over many months. You should be at the opposite end of the scale. Females are a little higher on the PH but not at the other end of the chart.

When I use a test strip I get inconclusive results if you can call it that... My leukocyte 'square' turns fairly deep purple in the middle, but remains its original 'white' color towards the rims. My protein 'square' is also weird and goes dark blue/green in the rims, but remains its original color in the middle. Are these false positives or not? I've had these for a few months now so I'm guessing it's nothing of importance really. But it still confuses me as to how I'm supposed to interpret it, while the other 'squares' behaves like they're supposed to de. Do any of you have an idea of what I should do about this?

Wouldn't you start at the bottom, 30 secs, then up to 60 sec items etc and you have to keep up. Should have someone else watching the clock, recording the results. I think she said just wait the 120 to do them all which would be a big blunder.

I really wish you would center the bottle when you go through the test. Towards the middle to end of the video you just keep it slanted and don't spin it one by one for the results. I was waiting specifically for some of the other tests and didn't get a good look at them and you kinda hurried through talking about the rest of them. I'm confused about how to read the creatine and wish you were as thorough speaking about that as you were with the first rhings
