Our Testing Services

Pharmacogenomics (PGx)

Pharmacogenomics studies a person’s DNA to test how it responds to different drugs. Researchers have found that different people have different reactions to the same drug. We test genetic variants for the best response to over 100 drugs.

Wound Pathogens

We can help you heal better with our qPCR-based test which detects the pathogens in the affected area. The results help with better wound management and prevent the spread of infection.

Blood Chemistry

An annual blood test is advised as part of an annual physical check-up to assess the health of your kidneys, liver, thyroid or heart.

Urine Drug Testing

We offer Specimen Validity Testing, Screening Assays and Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry.

Respiratory Pathogens

Devansh Lab Werk’s qPCR based RPP helps identify common viruses and mixed infections which will help your physician arrive at the correct diagnosis for you.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

A UTI is usually caused by bacteria. While women are more likely to get a UTI, men are also at risk. It is important to identify the symptoms and get yourself tested before the condition becomes worse. Symptoms include increased frequency in urination, pelvic pain, cloudy urine etc.

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that occurs in your urinary systems such as kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra and the tubes between them. Such infections are usually caused by bacteria that overcomes the body’s immune system in the urinary tract. Symptoms of a urinary tract infection include strong and frequent urge to urinate, strong-smelling and cloudy urine and pelvic pain, etc.

A urinary tract infection can be painful and must be treated immediately. If left untreated, the infection can spread to your bloodstream and cause a life-threatening situation. This situation is rare but occurs if the infection spreads to the kidneys or other parts of the body. Women are at higher risk of developing a urinary tract infection as compared to men.

FAQ's

A urinary tract infection (UTI) occurs when bacteria, fungi, or viruses invade the urinary system, affecting the kidneys, bladder, ureters, or urethra. The most common cause is Escherichia coli (E. coli), but other bacterial and fungal pathogens can also lead to infection. 

UTIs can cause a range of symptoms, including: 

→ Frequent and strong urge to urinate 

→ Cloudy, foul-smelling urine 

→ Pelvic pain or discomfort 

→ Burning sensation during urination 

→ Fever or chills in severe cases 

Devansh Lab Werks UTI panel provides a comprehensive diagnostic approach by detecting: 

→ Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria 

→ Fungal infections (e.g., Candida species) 

→ Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) 

→ Antibiotic resistance markers 

→ Urinalysis panel for overall urinary health 

Using advanced molecular diagnostics, Devansh Lab Werks detects antibiotic resistance genes such as mecA, kpc, and vanA1, helping healthcare providers choose the most effective treatment while avoiding ineffective antibiotics. 

Many STDs, including Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, and Trichomonas Vaginalis, mimic UTI symptoms. Comprehensive testing ensures accurate diagnosis, preventing misdiagnosis and unnecessary antibiotic use. 

A urinalysis panel detects key UTI indicators such as: 

→ Leukocytes (white blood cells indicating infection) 

→ Nitrites (suggesting bacterial presence) 

→ Blood in urine (possible infection or inflammation) 

→ pH, protein, glucose, and ketone levels for a complete urinary health assessment 

Yes, fungal infections—especially Candida Albicans and Candida Glabrata—can cause UTIs in immunocompromised individuals. Devansh Lab Werks molecular testing accurately identifies fungal pathogens for precise treatment recommendations. 

The Devansh Lab Werks UTI panel uses advanced molecular techniques to detect a broad range of bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens, ensuring accurate diagnosis of mixed infections and guiding targeted therapy. 

Women have a shorter urethra, making it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder. Additional risk factors include: 

→ Hormonal changes (menstruation, pregnancy, menopause) 

→ Sexual activity increasing bacterial transfer 

→ Use of certain contraceptives altering vaginal flora 

Devansh Lab Werks offers rapid and reliable UTI testing with a quick turnaround time, enabling fast diagnosis and timely treatment initiation for better patient outcomes.
