My GP used those UTI strip tests on me. One tested positive for nitrites the other tested negative for luekocytes. She said that no luekocytes means no uti and most likely a different issue such as an sti.

Has anyone had only nitrites found in urine and it was a uti and nothing else?

I’ve always had a prescription for Nit pos but told leukocytes could just contamination & not necessarily infection.

Nitrite tests detect the products of nitrate reductase, an enzyme produced by many bacterial species. These products are not present normally unless a UTI exists
