Too often I heard in the past few months: "You have blood in your urine!", Which was also partially treated with antibiotics for alleged cystitis. Only end of October 2011 I thought this can not be true, never pain and brought me the package Combur 9 test strip into the house. In a 14-day-long, 3 x daily inspection, it turned out, I always blood in the urine. Other measurements such as leukocytes, nitrite, pH, protein, glucose, ketone, urobilinogen, bilirubin also fluctuated, but were largely constant. The then consulted urologist could not find anything flashy. But thanks to my extensive documentation I am today at a Nefrologen in treatment. A bladder infection I never had, but kidney and liver are not in order. Since then, I measure only once a day the urine in order to audition immediately when necessary Nefrologen can. The handling of the test strips is very easy and simple. The test strips can be disposed of in normal household waste. The instruction manual is held in German and with reference to the color change, which is table-like glued to the can tube for comparison, you can quickly see if something is wrong. One should be clear, just because a small change occurs, you do not have the same spin the wheel, wenns it but in my case is a permanent condition, you should consult a doctor and clarify the causes. So I think it is a great advantage if one keeps his body with such simple means in the eye.
