Lyme Dot Urine | 3 Samples

Ordering the Lyme Dot Urine | 3 Samples

Lyme Dot Urine | 3 Samples is a specialized urine test designed to help detect Lyme disease and related infections by identifying specific antibodies and antigens in three separate urine samples. This test is especially useful for people who have ongoing symptoms that may be linked to tick-borne illnesses, even if previous blood tests have been inconclusive. Interestingly, urine-based Lyme testing can sometimes detect markers that are missed in blood tests, especially in cases where the infection is not active in the bloodstream but is still present in the body.

Ordering this test provides several specific benefits:

• Detects Lyme disease markers that may not appear in blood tests, especially in chronic or late-stage cases.
• Uses three separate urine samples to increase the chance of finding evidence of infection.
• Non-invasive collection method that can be done at home, reducing the need for clinic visits.
• Helps guide treatment decisions by confirming ongoing infection or exposure.
• Can identify persistent or recurring infections that may be missed by standard testing.

Who Should Consider Urine-Based Lyme Disease Testing

People who have experienced unexplained joint pain, fatigue, or neurological symptoms after spending time in areas where ticks are common may benefit from this test. For example, someone who has been treated for Lyme disease in the past but continues to have memory problems and muscle pain might use this test to check for ongoing infection.

Ordering this test may also be helpful in these situations:

• Persistent symptoms such as brain fog, dizziness, or sleep disturbances after a known tick bite.
• Unexplained skin rashes or facial palsy that have not responded to standard treatments.
• Recurring fever or flu-like symptoms without a clear cause.
• Heart palpitations or swollen lymph nodes following outdoor activities in tick-prone areas.
• People with chronic illness who have not found answers through other lab tests, as urine-based Lyme testing can sometimes reveal hidden infections.

This test is recommended for those who need clear evidence of ongoing or past Lyme infection to guide further treatment or to rule out Lyme as a cause of persistent symptoms. Delaying this test could mean missing the window to detect markers that fluctuate over time, which may affect treatment planning.
