Inconclusive urine tests are no longer reported, but used to be common. At that time, the inconclusive result meant that on an arbitrary scoring range created for the test, the result was in the middle -- neither positive nor negative. Since then, all results previously labeled inconclusive have now been labeled positive.
no it does not.
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.
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.
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.
An inconclusive urine test is when the results do not definitively confirm or rule out a specific condition or substance. It means that the test did not provide clear enough results to make a definitive conclusion. Additional testing may be needed to obtain a proper diagnosis or confirmation.
To get tested for chlamydia, you must ask specifically for that test. Routine urinalysis or culture does not detect chlamydia.Chlamydia testing requires a specific test. Urine testing done for other purposes will not detect chlamydia.
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.
Yes, there is a blood test available for detecting chlamydia, but it is not commonly used. The most common method for diagnosing chlamydia is through a urine or swab test.
Drinking too much water before a drug test can cause an inconclusive result. Any urinalysis will be skewed from too much water in the sample.
An inconclusive urine test means that the results were not definitive or clear, often due to factors such as improper collection, contamination, or diluted samples. It indicates that further testing or a repeat sample may be necessary to get a more accurate result.
You can have a culture or urine test to know if you are infected.
No, it does not. If you need testing for chlamydia, if you may be at risk, please ask for the test by name.
