Complete Urinalysis

Urinalysis

A complete urinalysis examines the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of urine to screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, and other conditions.

Urinalysis is one of the oldest and most valuable diagnostic tests in medicine. By examining urine—a product of kidney filtration—this test provides insights into urinary tract health, kidney function, metabolic conditions, and overall health.

A complete urinalysis includes three components: visual examination (color, clarity), chemical analysis (dipstick testing for proteins, glucose, blood, and other substances), and microscopic examination (cells, crystals, bacteria). Abnormalities can indicate infection, kidney disease, diabetes, dehydration, and many other conditions.

Urinalysis is non-invasive, inexpensive, and provides rapid results, making it an excellent screening tool and an essential part of health evaluation.

What This Test Measures

This test analyzes: pH (acidity), specific gravity (concentration), protein, glucose, ketones, blood, leukocytes (white blood cells), nitrites, bilirubin, urobilinogen, and microscopic elements like cells, casts, and crystals.

Who Should Consider This Test

Anyone with urinary symptoms (pain, frequency, blood in urine), those screening for kidney disease, people with diabetes, pregnant women, anyone with unexplained abdominal pain, and those wanting routine health screening.

When to Get Tested

No fasting required. Ideally provide a "clean-catch" midstream sample. Avoid testing during menstruation (can contaminate sample with blood). First morning urine is often most concentrated and useful.

Understanding Your Results

Normal urine is yellow, clear, with pH 4.5-8, specific gravity 1.005-1.030, and negative for protein, glucose, blood, leukocytes, and nitrites. Abnormalities suggest specific conditions: nitrites/leukocytes suggest infection, glucose suggests diabetes, protein may indicate kidney disease.

What to Expect
