Urinary tract infections (UTIs) lead to over 8 million doctor visits every year. Left untreated, UTIs can lead to serious complications, like kidney infections or chronic urinary problems. Early detection is key—but can you test for a UTI at home? Thanks to modern advancements in at-home testing, the answer is yes.
With the Ribbon Checkup at-home urine test kit, you can detect infections early without waiting for appointments or lab results. It’s a quick and reliable way to get the information you need, so you can take action fast and get back to feeling your best.
Catching a UTI early can mean the difference between a minor inconvenience and a painful, prolonged issue. In its early stages, a UTI may not cause noticeable symptoms, but indicators like leukocytes (white blood cells) and nitrites can still be detected with a UTI home test.
Ribbon Checkup allows you to monitor various markers in your urine for a comprehensive overview of your kidney, liver, metabolic, and general health. With easy-to-use test strips and a free app that interprets your results, you can quickly identify the early signs of a UTI and take swift action before it worsens. Our at-home urine test kits don’t just check for UTIs—they evaluate 10 key health indicators, including protein, glucose, and pH levels, giving you a complete picture of your overall well-being, all through a single test strip.
A Ribbon urine test is the perfect alternative to OTC UTI tests, which typically only check for a limited range of markers. Here’s how to use a kit at home to test for UTIs and other health concerns:

The Ribbon urinary tract infection home test detects leukocytes and nitrites in your urine, as well as other liver, kidney, and metabolic markers to give you a complete overview of how your body is doing. Leukocytes and nitrites are common signs that your body may be fighting a urinary tract infection.
If your test comes back positive, it likely means you have a UTI. Reach out to your healthcare provider with your results to get a proper diagnosis and start treatment.
