Urinære nitrater er kjemiske forbindelser som normalt ikke er til stede i betydelige mengder i urin. Tilstedeværelsen av nitrater i urin indikerer ofte en bakteriell infeksjon, slik som en urinveisinfeksjon (UVI), da visse bakterier kan omdanne naturlig forekommende nitritt i urin til nitrat. Testing for nitrater er en vanlig metode for å påvise UVI.

Individuals who would benefit from testing their urinary nitrate levels include those showing symptoms of a UTI, such as painful or frequent urination. It’s also advised for people with a history of recurrent UTIs, individuals with diabetes or weakened immune systems, and pregnant women, who are more susceptible to urinary infections.
Lowering urinary nitrate levels involves treating the underlying bacterial infection, usually with antibiotics prescribed based on the specific type of bacteria causing the infection. Drinking plenty of fluids, especially water, helps to flush bacteria from the urinary system. Preventative measures include practicing good hygiene, urinating after sexual activity, and avoiding irritants like harsh soaps or bubble baths.
