Urine for AFB Price in Bangladesh

What is Urine for AFB?

The Urine for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) test is used to detect tuberculosis (TB) or other mycobacterial infections in the urinary tract. A urine sample is collected and examined for the presence of AFB, which are the bacteria responsible for TB.

No special preparation is needed. Risks include mild discomfort during collection.

A positive result suggests a mycobacterial infection like TB, while a negative result may require further testing if symptoms persist. Poor sample collection or contamination can affect accuracy.

Normal activities can be resumed after the test.

What to expect & how to prepare

Urine for AFB is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Urine for AFB result rather than self-diagnosing.
