The “Urine for AFB” test, conducted by Hypro Diagnostics, holds significant diagnostic importance as it aims to identify the presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other acid-fast bacilli in urine samples. This testing procedure is especially valuable for diagnosing active tuberculosis (TB) infections, particularly when the genitourinary system, including the kidneys, is affected. Leveraging a distinctive staining technique specific to acid-fast bacilli, Hypro Diagnostics cultivates urine samples under precise conditions to promote bacterial growth. Microscopic analysis of these cultures allows for the detection of characteristic acid-fast bacilli. This test is instrumental for patients exhibiting symptoms suggestive of genitourinary TB, including pain during urination, blood in the urine, and frequent urination. The outcomes of the “Urine for AFB” test not only confirm the diagnosis but also assist Hypro Diagnostics in evaluating the severity of the infection, enabling the formulation of targeted and effective treatment strategies.
