Know your Urine Yeast. Know your health.
Test your Urine Yeast and 100+ other biomarkers in a single blood draw.
Yeast cells in urine most often come from contamination, particularly in women, or from a genital yeast infection rather than a true urinary tract infection. In some cases, especially in people with diabetes, weakened immunity, or a urinary catheter, yeast can genuinely colonize or infect the urinary tract. Glucose in the urine, common in uncontrolled diabetes, provides a food source that encourages yeast growth. The finding is interpreted alongside symptoms, glucose, and white blood cells. A clean-catch sample helps distinguish contamination from a real infection.
Urine Yeast isn't sold on its own. It comes in a routine urinalysis, about $45. A fuller workup adds Vitamin D ($75), hs-CRP ($69), ApoB ($50), and ApoA1 ($50). You can test Urine Yeast and 100 other biomarkers for $190 as part of an Empirical membership.
Empirical is FSA/HSA eligible, so you can pay with pre-tax dollars. Fast for 8-12 hours beforehand for the most accurate lipid and metabolic results, and expect results in days rather than weeks.
Urine Yeast is drawn at 2,200+ Quest and BioReference patient service centers across the US, so there's usually one within a short drive. Browse the full directory to find the one closest to you.
