What is Chlamydia Trachomatis DNA PCR?

This urine test directly detects the genetic material (DNA) of Chlamydia trachomatis. It's a highly sensitive and accurate method to confirm an active infection, even before symptoms appear.

Why is this test important?

Considered the gold standard for diagnosing active Chlamydia trachomatis infections, including STIs. This test is critical for prompt and effective treatment, preventing serious health complications and stopping the spread of infection.

How to Prepare

It is recommended to provide a 'first-catch' urine sample (the initial part of the urine stream). Avoid urinating for at least 1-2 hours before the test for best results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to fast before my blood test?
It depends on the test. Tests like lipid profile and fasting blood sugar require 10-12 hours of fasting. Tests like CBC, vitamin D, and thyroid do not require fasting. Each test page on our website clearly states the fasting requirements.
