Combur 5 Test® HC detects substances excreted in the urine and can thus provide information about illnesses, even if no symptoms have arisen.

For example, urinary tract infections can be detected at an early stage, chronic kidney diseases - which often cause hardly any symptoms over a long period of time - can be discovered and previously undetected diabetics can be identified.

Vitamin C resistance

• About 20% of all urine samples contain vitamin C in high concentrations
• Vitamin C in the urine sample can cause false negative test results on the blood and glucose test areas
• The result: diseases may not be identified immediately and the necessary therapies may only be initiated with a delay
• the solution: the use of vitamin C suppressed test strips such as Combur 5 Test® HC; This largely avoids false negative result displays for the blood and glucose test fields
• A comparison of five common urine test strips has shown: Only the Combur-Test product line is largely resistant to the influence of vitamin C! (Source: Clinical Laboratory, 2006: 52: 149-153)

Self-control cannot replace medical control. Discoloration of the test fields should be discussed with the doctor in order to initiate any therapy that may be required.
