Description

With Up4pet dogs and cats owners can analyse 10 different parameters within a single test.
Our at home health test box includes 2 sealed foil pouches with its results colour chart.

Each of them contains 1 desiccant and 1 test strip with 10 different parameters (urobilinogen, glucose, bilirubin, ketones, specific gravity, blood, pH, protein, nitrite and leukocytes)
These parameters helps you to screen potential health issues such as kidney failure, urinary tract infection, diabetes or liver disease.

How can you read the results?
The colour chart on the aluminium pouch will help you read and understand the results of the test strip.
Once you have immersed the 10 reagent areas for 2 seconds you will have to wait 60 more seconds to read results, except for leukocytes from 90 to 120 seconds.
We recommend having a clock and pen on hand so you can be as accurate as possible. It is important to respect time as the colour on the strips continuously change.

Urobilinogen
Liver malfunction is possible, urobilinogen needs to be linked to bilirubin and blood parameters.
Glucose
Glucose can indicate diabetes.
Bilirubin
If the colour of bilirubin changes it can be due to liver malfunction.
Ketones
Ketones indicate there are not enough carbohydrates to meet your pet’s energy needs.
Specific Gravity
With specific gravity, kidney failure is possible.
Blood
If there is blood in your pet’s urine it can indicates liver disease, kidney failure or urinary tract infection.
pH
Regarding pH colour, your pet’s can have either kidney failure, urinary tract infection or dehydration.
Protein
With the protein parameter you can detect a possibility of urinary tract infection and kidney failure.
Nitrites
When there are nitrites in your pet’s urine, he has urinary tract infection.
Leukocytes
Urinary tract infection is possible, leukocytes needs to be linked with other parameters such as nitrites, proteins and blood.
