FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our laboratory services in Nairobi.

What laboratory tests are available at URO-CARE Nairobi?

URO-CARE offers PSA testing, semen analysis, hormone panels (testosterone, FSH, LH, prolactin), kidney function tests, urine culture and sensitivity, full blood count, STI screening, blood glucose, HbA1c and lipid panels. Most results are available same-day within 1–3 hours.

How long do lab results take at URO-CARE?

Most routine tests — PSA, FBC, kidney function, hormones, blood glucose — are processed in-house and ready within 1–3 hours. Urine cultures take 24–48 hours as bacteria need time to grow. Semen analysis takes 2–3 hours. Your specialist can discuss results in the same visit for fast-turnaround tests.

Do I need to fast before my blood test?

Some tests require fasting — blood glucose, lipid profiles and HbA1c require 8–12 hours without food. PSA, hormone panels, FBC and kidney function tests do not require fasting. For PSA specifically, avoid vigorous exercise, sexual activity and prostate massage for 48 hours beforehand. We'll advise you specifically when booking.

What is a PSA test and when should I get one?

A PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen) test is a blood test measuring PSA — a protein produced by the prostate gland. Elevated levels may indicate prostate cancer, benign enlargement or prostatitis. URO-CARE recommends screening from age 40 for men with a family history of prostate cancer, and from age 50 for all others. African men have a higher genetic risk and should not delay.

What does a semen analysis involve?

A standard semen analysis at URO-CARE evaluates: sperm count (concentration), motility (percentage moving forward), morphology (shape), volume, pH, liquefaction time and white blood cells. Advanced analysis includes DNA fragmentation. You will produce a sample privately in our collection room. Results are ready in 2–3 hours. All results are completely confidential.

Why is testosterone testing important for ED?

Low testosterone (hypogonadism) is a common and treatable cause of erectile dysfunction, low libido, fatigue and infertility. A simple blood test measures total and free testosterone. If levels are low, hormone replacement or other targeted treatments may significantly improve erectile function and energy levels. Hormone testing is part of our standard ED workup.

Are lab results confidential at URO-CARE?

Yes, 100%. All laboratory results — especially sensitive tests like semen analysis, STI screening and hormone panels — are handled with complete discretion. Results are stored securely and shared only with you and the specialist who ordered the tests. No information is disclosed without your explicit written consent.

Do I need a doctor's referral to use the URO-CARE lab?

No referral is required for most tests. You can book directly by calling +254 112 288 709, WhatsApp, or our booking form. However, for some specialist tests (e.g. DNA fragmentation), a prior urology consultation is recommended so the results can be properly interpreted and acted upon. Call us and we'll advise.
