Anyone ever use urine test strips in conjunction with blood work? If so, are the dip strips accurate?

I’m starting my 4th week of an 80mg/day var only cycle and my left kidney is getting a little sore. I bought some 10 panel test strips and all seems to be in check (my specific gravity is a little high), but I’m not convinced of the accuracy of these reagent, dip strip type tests.

I really don’t want to bail on the cycle, but its definitely not back pumps and I’m taking in a lot of water. 800mg of motrin makes it go away, but I’m not comfortable taking that daily for the next 4 weeks.

Any thoughts?
