Georgia from Australia -- If your kidney function is not at a good eGFR level, why would you not use that Siemen's dipstick weekly just to give you a nice comfortable feeling. The 2nd NIT - orange color on the stick is bacteria and that is "not that good to let get out of hand" when you have low kidney function. I hit it immediately with the antibiotic that the Infectious Disease specialist made "just for me".It is so much more relaxing to "do it at home" instead of running each time to the GP.
