In the hospital lab, these urine reagent test strips(chemstrips) are used to help monitor various parameters in a patient's urine and check for early signs of infection or disease. Urinalysis test strips are a great way to help monitor your health from the comfort of your own home Multiple Uses These strips can function as UTI test strips to test for urinary tract infections.

Excellent product
This is an excellent product for self-early-detect-test.One small thing if I may say is that the strips have only 60 days to use once the package is open. I think it's too short period of time for 155 strips.

The bottle says its good until 8/10/2018
According to the test results I was positive for Leukocytes. After testing for a few weeks I had my wife do it as well. She also came back positive for Leukocytes. Then I used Tap Water and sure enough it was positive for Leukocytes. The bottle says its good until 8/10/2018. DON'T BUY THESE. Unless you want to stress yourself out.

The kit is easy to use
My wife has a history of UTI, suspected the Rx was not clearing them up, so they slowly came back. We got this to check at home, and sure enough, five days after stopping Cipro, the test showed positive so we contacted the doctor and will go back in for a visit. The kit is easy to use, with 11 test pads on each strip to compare with a chart for results.I found the seller very helpful with a package label question and she was prompt and efficient in completely satisfying our needs via email. I have no ties or get no discount or benefit from this good review. I hope it helps the reader.

These go to eleven.
Who needs these?A person with a history of UTIs, kidney infections or disease, a history of bladder cancer.I have an Hx of malignant bladder cancer, typically a "smoker's cancer." Not me--I never smoked. But I have a microadenoma on my pituitary gland--good luck getting a neurosurgeon to do the 30 min surgery for that! Since the ACA (aka Obamacare) took effect, surgeons now make most of their money in consults, not surgeries.Anyway, that tiny thing makes me void 9-12L of urine EACH DAY. The adult average is 1.5L. An adult usually has 5L of blood in their body.How on earth do I avoid dehydration, or track symptoms of dehydration?With a "urine hat" and these dipsticks. Here's why having 11 parameters matters. Leukocytes in the urine indicate inflammation or infection but the sticks are wildly inaccurate. The 11th parametèr checks ASCORBATE. A lemon wedge, commercial "enriched" short-cut "food" will render the other squares (parameters) inaccurate! Now, when I drop off my urine sample for a UA and culture I sorta know there's something actually amiss (besides my chronic dehydration). If your doctor's staff (or worse the Doctor) roll their eyes when you show up with your little cup, these will decrease those unpleasant trips.If you fit any of the categories I listed--you really need these. Don't bother with the 10 parameters, it's like flushing your money away.

Very easy to use
Very easy to use. If Ascorbate (vitamin C eliminated in urine) is positive, the results for blood and/or glucose may show a false negative. If you take vitamin C supplements, do not take (Vit C) for at least 10 to 12 hours, then test urine again.

Has Good Reviews
I picked this brand because of the good reviews on Amazon and the reasonable price. I did not realize until after I ordered them that once the bottle is opened, the strips are only good for 30-60 days. There are a 155 strips so 2-4 strips a day would be needed. I did appreciate the email I got from the company detailing the use of the strips. They also wanted to be sure the strips were not compromised in storage or shipment and give false results.I am a diet well controlled diabetic and I have kidney stones and recently had protein in my urine. I am using the strips twice a day to test for protein and blood in my urine. I feel like the results are accurate but will eventually have a urine test through my physician’s office to compare. If I continue to check for protein ( I may have lithotripsy for the stones) then I may look for a product that has fewer strips so I don’t run the risk of them being outdated.

Not the best.
Compared to other strips I have bought, I thought these were inferior. The tests were not lined up like all others, and the color codes were not the same as others so it was hard to get used to, and hard to read. I purchased them because they were Amazon recommended but won't make that mistake again. Over rated in my opinion.

Health care by patient
