A member asked:

At two minute mark my azo uti strip showed "trace" color for leu. a few minutes later was darker. which is correct? the test says its ready in two.

Urinary test WBCs: You probably have some trace leukocytes there but what you observe is the test strip "keeps reacting" after the 2 min mark, so it looks "more positive" than it is. Best to follow the test instructions exactly. White blood cells (WBCs) could indicate a urinary tract infection so you should probably see a doctor about it.
