TrueUA® Quantitative Urinalysis

TrueUA® delivers quantitative urinalysis results in minutes, giving you actual concentrations for sodium, potassium, and the full UA panel. Manufactured by Doc Lab for superior quality control.

Why Quantitative Urinalysis Matters

Traditional dipstick urinalysis gives you qualitative results—positive or negative, sometimes with vague gradations. That’s useful for screening, but it limits your clinical precision. When you need to monitor kidney function, track disease progression, or make treatment decisions, you need more than a color change on a strip.

TrueUA® changes the clinical equation. Instead of positive/negative, you get actual concentrations—quantitative measurements that support precise clinical decisions. You can track changes over time with real numbers, not subjective interpretations. You can distinguish clinically significant findings from borderline results with confidence.

For urology and nephrology practices with high urinalysis volume, TrueUA® transforms a routine test into a powerful clinical tool—with results in the same-day.

How TrueUA® Works

TrueUA® uses automated chemistry analysis to measure analyte concentrations in urine specimens. Unlike dipstick methods that rely on visual color interpretation, TrueUA® generates precise numerical values through standardized spectrophotometric measurement.

The workflow is straightforward for your lab staff: collect a standard urine specimen, load it into the analyzer, and receive quantitative results within minutes. No special collection requirements beyond what you’d use for a routine urinalysis.

Results are available same-day, integrating seamlessly with your practice workflow—whether you run specimens individually or batch them for efficiency. Either way, you get quantitative data back fast enough to inform clinical decisions without waiting on send-out labs.

Key Benefits

R

Quantitative Precision

Actual concentration values, not just positive/negative. Know exactly where your patient stands, not approximately. Virtually eliminate false positives and negatives.

R

Enhanced Analyte Menu

Full customizable UA panel plus sodium and potassium available—more clinical information from a single specimen.

R

Same-Day Results

Results the same day, enabling timely clinical decisions. No callbacks, no waiting on send-out labs.

R

Manufacturing Quality Control

We manufacture TrueUA® reagents ourselves. That means superior quality control, lot-to-lot consistency, and technical support from the team that made the chemistry.

R

Who Should Consider TrueUA®

R

Urology Practices

High urinalysis volume is standard in urology. TrueUA® delivers the precision and efficiency to handle that volume while providing clinical value beyond basic dipstick screening.

R

Nephrology Practices

Kidney function monitoring requires precision. Quantitative measurements—including sodium and potassium—support the detailed tracking nephrologists need for chronic condition management.

R

Multi-Specialty Clinics

For practices with diverse patient populations and significant urinalysis volume, TrueUA® provides clinical depth and operational efficiency.

Common Questions

How is TrueUA® different from dipstick urinalysis?

Dipsticks provide qualitative results (positive/negative, or semi-quantitative ranges based on color change). TrueUA® provides quantitative results—actual concentration values—through automated chemistry analysis. This gives you precise measurements rather than subjective interpretations, virtually eliminating false positives and negatives.

What analytes does TrueUA® measure?

TrueUA® measures the complete UA (pH, specific gravity, protein, glucose, ketones, blood, bilirubin, urobilinogen, nitrite, leukocyte esterase) plus sodium and potassium—more clinical information than standard dipstick testing.

How long does it take to get results?

Results are available within minutes of running the specimen. Whether you run specimens individually or batch for efficiency, same-day results support timely clinical decisions. We can help optimize your workflow during implementation.

What equipment is required?

TrueUA® requires a dedicated analyzer. Doc Lab provides equipment, installation, training, and ongoing support as part of our POL partnership.

Who manufactures TrueUA® reagents?

We do. Doc Lab formulates and manufactures TrueUA® reagents, giving us quality control from chemistry to clinic—and giving you technical support from the team that actually made the product.

Is TrueUA® validated?

Yes. Independent validation studies confirm TrueUA® accuracy and precision across all measured analytes. We can provide validation documentation upon request.
