What is Candida Albicans Detection, PCR?

This urine test uses PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) technology to directly detect the genetic material of Candida Albicans. It's a highly sensitive method for identifying the presence of this common yeast, even in small amounts.

Why is this test important?

PCR detection is crucial for diagnosing active Candida infections, especially in the urinary tract or for systemic infections. Early and accurate identification allows for prompt and targeted antifungal treatment, preventing complications.

How to Prepare

Collect a clean-catch midstream urine sample as instructed by your healthcare provider.
