What is Urine for GeneXpert (MTB)?
A urine GeneXpert (MTB) test is a molecular diagnostic test used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the bacteria that causes tuberculosis (TB), in a urine sample. It can also detect resistance to rifampicin, a first-line TB medication.
The test is performed using the GeneXpert instrument, which analyzes the urine sample for the presence of MTB DNA. Results are typically available within 2 hours.
The test is used to diagnose TB, particularly in people with extrapulmonary TB (TB outside the lungs), such as in the kidneys or urinary tract. It is also used to monitor treatment response and detect drug resistance.
What to expect & how to prepare
Urine for GeneXpert (MTB) 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 GeneXpert (MTB) result rather than self-diagnosing.
