Convenient Patient Experience: Shipped to your doorstep, our UroKEY test kit is designed with your busy lifestyle in mind. Once you receive your kit, just follow the instructions to collect your sample and ship it back to us – on your own time! AI-Enabled Microbe Classification: Powered by AI and the latest scientific research, the Urine Pathogenicity report enhances your and your healthcare provider’s insight into your condition as it algorithmically categorizes each microbe in your urine sample as: C – Commensal: A microbe that plays a neutral or helpful role in the urinary microbiome. P – Pathogen: A microbe that may be harming the urinary microbiome. U – Unknown: A microbe whose impact on the urinary microbiome is unknown. The Urine Pathogenicity Report is a consultation tool that gives doctors clarity into the scientific consensus on a particular microbe’s role, aiding in patient care decisions. It also serves as an educational tool to help people understand more about the infections they’re dealing with, and the huge role bacteria plays in our lives. These results serve as a helpful starting point for your doctor’s diagnostic and treatment processes. It’s important to note that your provider will make treatment decisions at their own discretion, considering your medical history. Moreover, the Urine Pathogenicity Report produces the best results for non-immunocompromised patients. Immuno-compromised patients will receive results that do not account for the effects of their specific conditions. Leverage MicroGenDX’s AI-enabled insights to enhance your patient experience and unlock the best possible treatment options. Deeper Health Insights: UroKEY can be paired with two additional add-ons to gain deeper clarity into your health, such as: Urine Analysis Biomarkers: This test add-on examines these crucial urine biomarkers to enhance the identification of pathogens: Leukocyte Esterase: Found in white blood cells, this enzyme indicates inflammation or infection in the urinary tract when present in urine. Detecting it enables UroKEY to identify infections that might otherwise go unnoticed by microbial analysis. pH Levels: Assessing the pH level of your urine reveals its acidity. Abnormal pH levels may indicate the presence of specific types of bacteria that thrive in certain pH environments, supporting the precise identification of the pathogens responsible for an infection or other urinary conditions. Moreover, monitoring pH levels can provide insight into your overall urinary health. Full STI: The full STI test is a separate PCR test that checks for the bacteria that cause: Chlamydia (Chlamydia trachomatis) Mycoplasma genital infection (Mycoplasma genitalium) Gonorrhea (Neisseria gonorrhoeae) Trichomoniasis / Trich (Trichomonas vaginalis) The UroKEY Experience: From Test to Treatment Order Your Test: Easily order UroKEY online and have the test kit delivered directly to your doorstep.
