Urine test for schistosomiasis diagnosis
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study is testing a new urine test that can quickly detect schistosomiasis, a parasitic infection that can cause bladder or intestinal problems. The test uses a simple urine sample, similar to a pregnancy test, and aims to make diagnosis easier and faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must provide a first-morning urine sample of 30-50 mL

- You must have basic health information available for the study
- You must fall into one of the groups: having schistosomiasis, having nephritis, having a urinary tract infection, or being a healthy volunteer
