Why is my urine temperature low?

The temperature of the urine is almost the same as the temperature of the body. On average, the urine temperature is around 98.6˚F (37˚C). However, it is not the fixed temperature. Your urine temperature can be lower or higher. There are several causes of low urine temperature.

Let’s talk about what are the possible causes of low urine temperature.

1. When the urine temperature is too low, it is indicated that it is not fresh urine. The fresh urine temperature is always around body temperature. The low urine temperature implies that either your sample is not fresh or your urine sample is fake. The lab may ask you to give the urine sample again. 

2. There is a possibility that the temperature strip attached to the specimen cup is faulty, which can cause false temperature reading and can affect the temperature of the urine. In such cases, you can ask the lab to verify the temperature with the thermometer.

3. The lab technicians can make a mistake while checking the temperature of the sample. The temperature of the urine must be checked within 4 minutes after the urination. If lab technicians failed to check the temperature within 4 minutes, it is the lab technicians’ fault. So the temperature of the urine can be wrong if it is not adequately tested. You must check your urine sample in a good quality lab with experienced staff and good quality instruments.

4. Many people use fake pee to attempt to pass the urine drug test. So if you are giving fake pee for the test, then it is high chances that the fake pee’s temperature will not be around the real human urine temperature. It is also not legal in some states and highly detectable in test.
