Bio-Terrain Urinalysis Assessment (BTA)

Patient Information and Instructions for a first morning urine catch.

The urine contains a wealth of bio-chemical information. It is your metabolic diary. All bio-chemical processes of your body leave residues that eventually find their way to the urine. Thus the urine specimen is ideal for measuring and monitoring your
metabolic health.

In order for the lab to obtain the clearest information from your urine specimen, please do your best to follow these instructions.

Limit the following items 24 hours prior to your appointment:

  • Nutritional supplements & non-essential medications
  • Sugar & artificial sweeteners
  • Alcohol, coffee, black tea, sodas & sports drinks
  • Excess salt (MSG)
  • Processed, adulterated or junk foods
  • Your own allergenic foods

Eat well-balanced meals, including protein, and try to drink a minimum of 6 glasses of water daily. 

Collecting & Transporting Urine Specimen:

  • Catch the first morning void (after 4:00 am) the day of your appointment. Wait till mid-stream to catch the sample.
  • Use a clean glass or plastic container.
  • Put container in a baggie to prevent leaks.
  • Do not refrigerate specimen. Keep at room temperature.

What Tests are Included in the BTA?

Adrenal Stress Test: This is a specialized test that measures the amount of chloride
displaced in the urine. Excess chloride indicates adrenal stress or fatigue, a serious health
concern resulting from our fast-paced lifestyles.

Chemstrip Test: The chemstrip measures 10 separate categories, screening for nutritional
imbalances that can contribute to serious health problems including tissue degeneration,
liver and kidney disorders and chronic disease.

Calcium Urine Test: Calcium is an essential mineral for many cellular functions, as well as
for healthy bone development. This test looks at the levels of calcium in the urine and
serves as an indicator of diseases related to calcium deficiency.

Ureas: Nitrates & Ammonias: The BTA also measures ureas, or waste products left
over from normal chemical reactions in the body. High amounts of these by-products can
burden the liver and kidneys over time, resulting in many chronic conditions.

Vitamin C Test: Vitamin C is crucial to the health of the immune system, vascular system
and connective tissue, and is a powerful antioxidant. It is also an essential factor in many
metabolic processes. This quick urine test will quickly determine your vitamin C status.

Urinary Sugars: Sugar metabolism is crucial in the body’s ability to access appropriate
energy production pathways. Urinary sugars are tested to measure both high and low levels
in the body.

Free Radical Test: Free radical damage can lead to cell degeneration, initiating a host of
chronic diseases and acceleration of the aging processes. The BTA provides an accurate
assessment of free radical levels.

Electrolytes: Mineral salt compounds can destroy tissue, over-stimulate the nervous
system and threaten the health of the heart. The electrolytes test will identify both high
and low levels of mineral salts, which can lead to issues like anemia, high blood pressure and
hypertension.
