Chlamydia Test Accuracy Urine. All laboratory testing including STD tests accuracy rates are measured in terms of sensitivity and specificity. You should avoid passing urine for at least 1 hour before collecting the sample. More tests for other sexually transmitted infections STIs may be needed to find the cause of symptoms. NAAT accuracy level is almost 100 and it is done through urine sample and body fluid.
The Chlamydia Rapid Test had 826 sensitivity 985 specificity and 841 positive predictive value compared with standard lab tests Helen H. It is the most accurate and specific test than those others available for detecting Chlamydia. More tests for other sexually transmitted infections STIs may be needed to find the cause of symptoms. Additionally a recent American Family Physician article on chlamydial infections states that the accuracy of nucleic acid amplification tests on urine samples has been found to be nearly. If a culture is done no chlamydia bacteria grow in the culture. You should collect the initial 15-20 ml of passed urine and not midstream urine and the maximum amount collected should not exceed 60 ml.
San Francisco July 30 – A novel rapid urine test for Chlamydia offers accurate diagnosis for men without painful urethral swabbing researchers said.
The NAA test is a molecular test that detects the genetic material of Chlamydia Trachomatis. NAAT accuracy level is almost 100 and it is done through urine sample and body fluid. The urine tests for gonorrhea and chlamydia are very accurate and very simple to obtain. The main test for a Chlamydia infection is the nucleic acid amplification test or NAAT. Men will usually be asked to provide a urine sample while women will usually be asked to either swab inside their vagina or provide a urine sample. Women need not go through any pelvic exam for a NAA test.
