A member asked:

I took the at home azo uti test and my nitrite was negative, but the leukocytes was postie. does this mean i have a uti? i have pressure and burning.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible UTI: You may have a UTI. Nitrites may show up on the test with certain bacterial infections of the urinary tract, but not others. I recommend seeking help from a health professional for further work up. Pressure and burning can be associated with a UTI. Hope that helps!
