Spotting urine infections with leftover urine samples
Part of Infections, Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks for better ways to spot urinary tract infections (UTIs) in young children and older adults by testing leftover urine samples. It doesn't test a new drug—it just collects extra urine to find new markers that could lead to faster, more accurate diagnosis in the future.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are either a child under 5 who is not yet toilet trained, or an adult aged 65 or older.
- A urine dipstick test shows signs of a possible infection (nitrites or white blood cells).
- There is leftover urine after routine clinic tests, which the study can use.
- No antibiotics for an acute infection in the last 48 hours.
- You are willing to provide consent (or have a parent/guardian do so).

This study collects medical data from people with urinary tract infections (UTIs) to help future research and improve how UTIs are treated. You may be eligible if you have symptoms of a UTI now or have had them in the past.
This trial tests a panel of markers in urine to see if it can more accurately diagnose urinary tract infections in people aged 65 and older. If successful, it could lead to faster and more precise treatment.
This study looks at urine infections caused by certain resistant bacteria. If you had a UTI treated by your family doctor between June and December 2024, your doctor may help us learn more about these infections and how to treat them better.
This study looks at whether stopping routine urine dipstick tests helps diagnose urinary tract infections (UTIs) more accurately in hospitals. If you've been admitted through an emergency room since 2019, your data may help improve how UTIs are diagnosed.
This study tests a quick, in-clinic test for women with suspected urinary tract infections. The goal is to see if the test can accurately find bacteria and give fast results to help your doctor choose the right treatment.
This study looks at whether next-generation DNA testing from your urine can help doctors make better decisions about your treatment. You may be asked to return for follow-up visits so researchers can compare outcomes over time.
