What does a low result mean?

A negative test is the expected reassuring finding confirming a clean, sterile bladder.

What does a high result mean?

A positive test indicates bacterial activity, encouraging a confirmatory urine culture and increased water intake.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Did the urine culture confirm bacterial growth, or was this an incidental false positive?
  • Is any therapy indicated if I have zero discomfort or urinary symptoms?
  • Does increasing daily water intake to 2 liters help flush the bladder naturally?
