Description

The Urine for AFB (Acid-Fast Bacilli) Test is used to detect Mycobacterium tuberculosis or other mycobacteria in a urine sample. It's typically done when tuberculosis of the urinary tract or kidneys (renal TB) is suspected. The sample is stained and examined under a microscope for acid-fast bacteria, with additional culture or molecular tests if needed. A positive result indicates possible TB infection, while a negative result doesn’t completely rule it out.
