Urinox-pH test strips measure the acidity or alkalinity of urine or saliva with clinical accuracy. A balanced pH environment is essential for proper health. Healthcare providers monitor urine pH to assess kidney function, diet, and possible kidney stones or urinary tract infections.

The kidneys are the primary organs for maintaining blood pH. High blood pH triggers your kidneys to excrete more acid in your urine, causing a pH imbalance. The same applies when your blood is too basic, or alkaline.

Most people have a normal urine pH between 6.0 and 7.5 or 4.5 and 8.0. Your pH changes throughout the day depending on your hydration levels, diet, and exercise habits. Chronic symptoms of unbalanced pH levels can lead to diabetes, kidney stones, infections, and liver disease.

Your saliva pH is another biomarker that provides insight into your health. Normal saliva pH averages around 7.0 but can range from 6.2 to 7.6. Like urine pH, it changes throughout the day — generally influenced by your diet.

Your saliva helps neutralize harmful acids from normal oral bacteria. A balanced saliva pH promotes oral health, lowering your risk of plaque buildup, gum disease, and cavities.

Test Parameters

Leukocytes

Leukocytes (leukocyte esterase, simply white blood cells - WBC) are the cells of the immune system that protect the body against infections. It is quite normal for a few white blood cells to be present in the urine. High levels of white blood cells in urine will result in a positive test result, which may suggest an infection, such as a UTI. Positive leukocytes in urine test may also indicate inflammation in the urinary tract.

Nitrite

Normal urine contains chemicals called nitrates. If bacteria enter the urinary tract, nitrates can turn into different chemicals called nitrites. Nitrites in urine may signal a urinary tract infection (UTI). However, UTIs can be present despite a negative Nitrite test. The nitrite in urine test also provides an indirect method for early detection of significant bacteriuria (bacteria in urine).

Urobilinogen

Urobilinogen is formed from the reduction of bilirubin, a yellowish substance found in the liver that helps break down red blood cells. Normal urine contains some urobilinogen (up to 1.0 mg/dL). If there is little or no urobilinogen in urine, it can mean the liver isn't working correctly. Too much urine urobilinogen (> 2 mg/dL) may indicate liver diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, hemolytic anemia, or liver damage due to drugs, etc.

Protein

A protein in urine test measures the concentration of protein excreted in the urine. Proteins, usually found in blood, are substances that are essential for the body to function correctly. Protein can leak into the urine if there is a kidney problem or kidney infection, such as nephrotic syndrome. The presence of protein in the urine is named Proteinuria. A urine protein test is vital to know albumin levels to assess kidney health.

A urine pH test analyzes the acidity or alkalinity of urine. A neutral pH is 7.0. The higher the number, the more basic (alkaline) it is. The lower the number, the more acidic urine is. The pH of urine may change during the day going from acidic pH in the morning to more alkaline in the evening. Urine pH is an important marker for overall health screening. Various conclusions can be drawn about the state of health from the normal urine pH.

Blood

Blood in the urine is not a normal finding, but it is not uncommon and not necessarily a cause for alarm. Your healthcare practitioner will investigate further to determine the source and underlying cause. Blood in urine is termed Hematuria. Several factors can cause Hematuria, including UTI, kidney infection, menstruation, and strenuous exercise.

Specific Gravity

The kidneys' primary function is to maintain a healthy fluid and electrolyte balance. The specific gravity of urine measures the ability of the kidney to concentrate or dilute the urine. Urine specific gravity provides information about an individual's hydration status. Concentrated urine will have a high specific gravity, whereas dilute urine will have a low specific gravity.

Ketone

Ketones are chemicals (a type of acid) made in our liver. Everyone has them, but they're more prevalent in people who fast or are on low-carb/high-fat diets or individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes that inhibit the body's ability to produce sufficient insulin. High levels of ketones in urine (referred to as ketonuria) may indicate insufficient insulin levels and help monitor type 1 diabetes. Keeping track of ketone bodies in urine helps to monitor ketosis when on a keto diet.

Bilirubin

Bilirubin is a yellowish substance made during the body's normal process of breaking down red blood cells. Bilirubin is found in bile, a fluid in your liver that helps you digest food. If your liver is healthy, it will remove most of the bilirubin from your body. If your liver is damaged, bilirubin can leak into the blood and urine. Bilirubin in urine may be a sign of liver disease. Bilirubin levels should be tracked, e.g., using UA strips in liver patients.

Glucose

When blood is filtered in the kidneys, some sugar remains in the fluid that will later become urine. High glucose in the urine, known as glycosuria, is usually the result of abnormally high blood sugar levels. It is important to note that a urine glucose test is not a replacement for a blood glucose test. A Glucose blood test measures the glucose levels in the bloodstream. In contrast, urine glucose test strips measure the amount of glucose in urine secreted by the kidneys.

Test Parameters

Leukocytes

Leukocytes (white blood cells - WBC) are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious diseases and foreign invaders. A few white blood cells are normally present in urine and generally yield negative results. When the number of WBCs in urine increases significantly, this screening test will become positive. High levels of WBCs in the urine suggest an infection, such as a UTI.

Nitrite

Normal urine contains chemicals called nitrates. If bacteria enter the urinary tract, nitrates can turn into different, similarly named chemicals called nitrite. The presence of Nitrite in urine indicates possible asymptomatic infections caused by nitrate-reducing bacteria, which may be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). To detect UTI, the presence of Leukocytes in urine is also considered. UTI can be present despite a negative Nitrite test. The Nitrite test also provides an indirect method for early detection of significant bacteriuria (bacteria in urine).

Another Way to Learn About Biological Function!

Admittedly, I probably had no medical reason to buy these, but we have several different kinds of blood, urine and saliva test kits around the house "just for kicks" to learn more about the human body and its amazing fluctuation patterns. So, I figured this one might as well add to our collection. It's very simple to use, and simple to read, based on the straightforward color-coded decoder strip that comes with the package. Just another way to encourage continued greater study and understanding of biology... How can one go wrong? Lots of bang-for-the-buck learning opportunity here.

Very simple to use

It is very simple to use just like any other test. I hope it is really accurate. I use it for urine test. It says that you have to read it after 3o seconds because it will change it's color after a minute which might give a different result. I made an expetiment to wait another minute after the 1st minute but it really didn't change that much and my color comparison is still the same. It might vary to other if their's is acidic I guess.

Product Information

Step 1

Remove

Remove a strip from the pouch and immediately re-seal the pouch. Hold the strip without touching the test pads.

Step 2

Immerse

Immerse the strip into the urine or saliva sample and quickly remove it.

Step 3

Start Timing

Remove excess fluid by blotting the edge of the strip on a paper towel. Wait for 30 seconds for the colors to fully develop.

Step 4

Compare

Compare the color of the test pads to the corresponding row of color blocks on the color key to find the closest match.

How soon should a urine sample be tested?

Ideally, the specimen for routine urinalysis should be examined while fresh (less than 1 hour; 2 hours maximum). If this is not possible, it should be refrigerated immediately and/or have an appropriate chemical preservative added until examined. Specimens stored at room temperature will soon begin to decompose, mainly due to the presence of bacteria in the sample. Refrigerated samples should be used within 24 hours of collection.

‍

Urinalysis strip (dipstick) is a narrow plastic strip which has several square-shaped pads of different colors attached to it. Each small pad represents a component of the test used to interpret urinalysis. When dipped in the urine, pad colors change in response to the chemical characteristics of the urine. The color changes are noted at specific time intervals and compared against the reference color chart/key.

What is the best time to perform a saliva test?

General recommendations for saliva testing are to perform the test first thing in the morning or 2 hours after eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth. Do not rinse your mouth before testing.

How to perform a saliva pH test?

Follow the steps below to perform a saliva pH test:

Wash and dry your hands.
Remove a strip from the pouch and immediately re-seal the pouch.
Obtain saliva sample: Spit saliva onto a clean container. Non-bubble saliva works best.
Place a drop of your saliva on the test pads (with a dropper) or dip the test strip into the saliva container for about 3 seconds, making sure that both pads on the strip are fully covered with saliva.
Remove excess saliva by blotting the side of the strip on a paper towel. Start timing and wait for 30 seconds.
Compare the color of the test pads to the corresponding row of color blocks on the color key to find the closest match. Read the results carefully at 30 seconds in a good light. The color changes that appear after one minute are of no diagnostic significance.
