A drop of urine, a world of difference: new test could spot hidden infections
NCT ID NCT06951009
First seen Aug 17, 2026 · Last updated Aug 17, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether a new urine analysis device, the Sysmex UF-5000, can accurately measure inflammation markers in healthy men. The goal is to establish a baseline for what's normal, which could help develop a quick, non-invasive test for urethritis, a common infection. Participants will provide urine samples using two different collection methods to see which is more reliable. This is an early step toward a potential point-of-care test that could improve STI diagnosis and treatment.
