What does it mean if the WBC showed up positive but the nitrate came back negative?

Check here: http://www.azoproducts.com/faq/azo_test_strips and yes, it probably means a retest, first thing in the AM.

Hi,The high WBC (white Blood Count) cells suggest that you still have or do have a UTI. Nitrates being negative, just means that you may be taking an antibiotic other OTC medication that has flawed the results.Taking an antibiotic.....will give you false reading on the AZO strips. The medication you take has to be considered when you do the reading. USE THE STRIP THE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING to get an accurate reading, urine is at it's most concentrated form. Orange juice or any other acid drink can give a false reading.Take a reading in the morning and then compare it to the next mornings reading to see if they are the same, if you are in pain or have a temperature, consult your Physician asap.

The beauty of the AZO model (for the company) is that that could mean anything. There will always be WBC in your urine if, like me, you use a catheter. What you need to do is retest. The truth is, AZO are frequently wrong, so it could mean you have a UTI or it could mean you have nothing. If these were cheaper a few manufacturing errors would be ok, but at 4$ a stick it's a drag. Alternatively, if you have insurance, go to a doctor and have them do an actual lab test. It takes a few days but then you'll know for sure and if your insurance covers it, it will robably be as cheap as this crappy product.

Two lines (even if the lower one is faint) means negative. Top line only means positive. No top line or no lines at all means invalid test.

Yes. NaNO2 = sodium nitrite; NaNO3 = sodium nitrate. The 3 means an extra oxygen atom. Nitrate is found in beets, spinach, etc. On the tongue, bacteria convert it to nitrite (NO2) by grabbing the extra oxygen for themselves. The nitrite now passes to the stomach, where the acids convert it to NO, nitric oxide, which is the beneficial artery dilator. If you don't each many foods that have nitrate (NO3), and you are over 40, you may have too little NO. So the NeO4O lozenge provides some NO2, plus some beet extract to give you NO3 as well so the body will get two sources. I think they added the beets to act more slowly, like sustained release because the nitrite is fast-acting. Just my thoughts.

hello, cuz I have not used Econazole Nitrate 1%, I have no idea about if they are equivalent.

Most batteries will have a little plastic cover over the terminals when they are brand new. Positive will be red, and Negative will be black. If the battery doesn't have the color coded covers, you might see a + (positive) and a - (negative) on the terminal post covers.

I had the same thing happen, used it anyway with no negative reaction. Good luck !

The second line showing means positive however I kept mines after the test and it still showed one line only even after a month so you might wanna check further with a doctor ,not trying to scare you just might be best to ease your mind by checking with one .

Hi Jim, Thank you for your question. After doing a little more research on your question, here is a more specific answer to your question. The amount of sodium nitrite is just a small trace, a few ounces in hundreds of pounds of meat. The amount of garlic added to each batch is less than 1%. Garlic We have done quite a bit of research on the issue of garlic in our treats. We have found sources that say garlic is not good for dogs. Others say garlic is not harmful, and in fact some pet owners feed garlic to their dogs to keep fleas away. It is common thought that a tiny amount of garlic is not harmful. We have pets that have been eating our dog treats for years with no adverse effects. We also have customers who have told us of their pets who are very sensitive to certain foods and treats who have had no problems when given our Rocco & Roxie treats. Sodium Nitrite We evaluate every ingredient in our products very closely and make sure it's something we're comfortable serving our own pets. That's why we're so proud of our Jerky Treats, made locally in the USA. The sodium nitrite that you asked about is a naturally-occurring mineral that is used to prevent any possibility of botulism or food-borne illness in meat. It's included in trace amounts for safety. In fact, almost every jerky for humans has it in there, too. Many other popular dog treats contain extra, unnecessary oils, fats, and fillers. We pride ourselves on the very short list of ingredients in our treats -- the first and main one being American-raised beef. What many people aren't totally aware of is that sodium nitrite is naturally found in so many of the foods we eat, including most vegetables because it's an element of soil. Here's an informative article about it that you may find interesting, and it may make you less concerned about nitrites. http://culinaryarts.about.com/od/seasoningflavoring/a/nitrates.htm Thanks again for your question and thank you for choosing Rocco & Roxie, Paul Co-Founder Rocco & Roxie Supply Co.

totally dependent upon the testing agency. If you are doing a test for employment with Hospital, they usually do test by themselves. And if the result is faint line, they may accept it as negative. Usually all Labs like quest, labwork etc would take the faint line as INCONCLUSIVE result. And again depends on your employer how they treat INCONCLUSIVE RESULTS.

Guess the proof is in the pudding. I tried higher counts for cultures and had no results tried this product and got great results.

That happened to me once and I confirmed with a wondfo test that it was indeed positive. I would assume its positive and that you will ovulate soon. So get busy!

DQ#1 is sodium nitrite. It could be mislabeled. If it is nitrite, it will be pink, they don't dye sodium nitrate pink in production.

Not sure exactly what you mean, but it has ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, low range pH, and high range pH. Each test will do, i dunno, 100? 200? tests?I'm sure API customer service could give you a more precise answer, but I've never run out of any bottle before the expiration date in 20+ years of using them.

Unable to determine since I discarded product because of a reaction and sensitivity to it.

Sorry, Allthumbs16; I gave this as a gift and didn't try it out. However, I was told by the person I gave it to that you hook it up between positive and negative.

Maybe too much nitrogen...heathy plant with no fruit is usually a sign of to much nitrogen ...this Season on a recommendation of the hot pepper forum starting using miracle grow TOMATOE mix ..Multitudes of flowers and one warm day fruit .... It works .....

Ill be honest, I'm not real learned on all the different terminology. It gives you a heart rate reading (which I watch before and after neb treatments) and then the other is what I would suppose is the saturation level. Where the docs normally like it above 97 and are concerned when it's below 95 and super worried if it's below 90. Hope that helps. :)
