Frequently Asked Questions
What does this test measure?
This test measures the presence of Candida Albicans, a type of fungus that can cause infections in the body. It helps in identifying fungal infections that may not be apparent through standard testing.
Who should take this test?
Individuals experiencing recurrent yeast infections, those with symptoms of fungal infections, or patients with compromised immune systems should consider this test. It is also useful for routine screening in at-risk populations.
How do I prepare for this test?
Preparation involves collecting a specimen of 10 mL (5 mL minimum) of urine in a sterile screw-capped container or a swab. It is important to ship the specimen refrigerated, and a completed Test Request Form (TRF) and identification are required.
What do the results mean?
Results indicate whether Candida Albicans is present in the specimen. Positive results may suggest an active infection, while negative results can help rule out fungal infections.
How long until I get my results?
