Commonly asked questions
Urine Culture Tests are used to detect infections in the urinary system, such as a UTI, kidney infection, or bladder infection. They are also used to monitor treatment effectiveness for ongoing infections.
A Urine Culture Test usually yields results in 24 to 48 hours, as the urine sample needs time for bacteria or yeast to grow in a lab setting. If more extensive testing is needed, results may take up to 3 days.
