No, it does not. If you need testing for chlamydia, if you may be at risk, please ask for the test by name.
Type your answer here... what are nitrates in urine.
Nitrates in the form or urea are secreted by the kidneys.
Yes. A culture to detect bacteria in the urine does not check for chlamydia. The urine test for chlamydia is not a standard urinalysis or urine culture, but is a specific test to detect chlamydia's genetic material. Ask for the test specifically if you are concerned.
You may get positive leukocytes on a urine dip, but a person can have chlamydia and have no changes in urine other than those detected by a specific chlamydia test.

According to WebMD: Nitrites. Bacteria that cause a urinary tract infection (UTI) make an enzyme that changes urinary nitrates to nitrites. Nitrites in urine show a UTI is present.
A normal blood test will not detect the infection. To diagnose chlamydia, you need a urine test or swab of the vagina, urethra, rectum, throat, or eye. Blood tests can look for evidence of past infection with chlamydia, but these are of no use in determining current infection and aren't used to diagnose or treat disease.
Positive nitrates in urine indicates that you may have a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) or bacterial infection in areas of your body that produce or hold urine such as your kidneys, bladder, or urethra.
Urine tests are effective for testing chlamydia, as long as the right test is ordered. A routine urinalysis or urine culture will not detect chlamydia. The specific chlamydia test needs to be ordered. There is a DNA amplification test that can be performed for chlamydia and gonorrhea on a urine sample. The urine, however, should not be a midstream sample - it should be the first urine that is urinated to get any of the bacteria that were growing in the urethra.
Pus cells from chlamydia may change the appearance of urine. Get tested if you think you're at risk of STDs.
Chlamydia doesn't cause dementia.
