PCR FOR MTB URINE

PCR FOR MTB URINE

PCR for MTB in Urine is a molecular test used to detect the genetic material of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in a urine sample. It may be recommended when urinary or kidney tuberculosis is suspected, particularly with persistent urinary symptoms or unexplained blood in the urine. The test can support the rapid evaluation of TB infection. Results should be interpreted along with symptoms, medical history, and other TB investigations.
