Understanding Urine for Occult Blood in Raipur


What is Urine for Occult Blood in Raipur?

The Urine for Occult Blood is a simple, non-invasive test  used to detect the presence of hidden (occult) blood in the urine sample. The presence of occult blood in urine can be indicative of infections, kidney stones or other kidney diseases, bladder cancer etc. This test is widely available with Tata 1mg labs at an affordable price in Raipur. 

The Urine for Occult Blood test is often recommended in cases where the individual presents with symptoms that include pain or burning during urination, frequent urination,cloudy or foul-smelling urine, or unexplained lower back pain. It may also be performed as part of routine testing, in particular for individuals at high risk of urinary tract diseases such as up with a family history of kidney or bladder cancer, older adults, or individuals with chronic conditions like diabetes or hypertension.

Drink enough water to provide a urine sample. A mid-stream urine sample should be collected into a sterile container provided by the sample collection professional. Several factors can influence the results of the urine occult blood test. For instance, vigorous physical activity, menstrual blood, or sexual activity may lead to false positives. It is essential to inform your doctor about any recent exercise, medical conditions, or medications that could affect the test results. 

What does Urine for Occult Blood measure?

The Urine for Occult Blood test determines the presence of blood in the urine in very small quantities that are not visible to the naked eye. The test looks for blood even in trace amounts, which usually indicates certain medical conditions. It helps in finding hidden blood that may signal conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, bladder infections, injuries, or even more serious issues such as kidney disease and bladder cancer. 

A positive result means that bleeding occurs within the urinary system. However, a positive Urine for Occult Blood test does not specify what is the source or cause of the bleeding. Further evaluation, usually involving imaging or cystoscopy, is needed to determine the eventual cause of the occult blood.

The Urine for Occult Blood test helps in the early identification of the underlying problem causing bleeding, potentially preventing the complications and improving the treatment outcome.
