Routine Urinalysis

The Routine Urinalysis is a simple yet powerful test that evaluates your urine to provide insight into your overall health and kidney function. It is commonly used to help detect urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, metabolic conditions, inflammation, and other underlying health concerns.

Because urine reflects how well your body filters waste and maintains balance, this test is often used for routine health screening, monitoring existing conditions, or investigating unexplained symptoms. The test requires a small urine sample and is noninvasive.

Any abnormal findings are automatically followed by a microscopic examination to provide more detailed and accurate results.

What Is Included In This Test?

This routine urinalysis evaluates 12 key components, grouped into physical and chemical assessments.

Physical Examination

• Color: Helps identify hydration status and possible abnormalities
• Clarity: Detects cloudiness that may indicate infection or other conditions
• Specific Gravity: Measures urine concentration and hydration balance

Chemical Examination

• pH: Assesses urine acidity and metabolic balance
• Protein: Screens for kidney-related issues
• Glucose: Helps detect abnormal blood sugar levels
• Ketones: Indicates fat metabolism and potential metabolic concerns
• Occult Blood: Detects blood that may not be visible
• Leukocyte Esterase: Suggests infection or inflammation
• Nitrite: Helps identify bacterial urinary tract infections
• Bilirubin: Screens for liver or bile duct issues
• Urobilinogen: Assesses liver function and red blood cell breakdown

Any positive or abnormal results are automatically reviewed under a microscope for confirmation and further evaluation.

Who Should Consider This Test?

The Routine Urinalysis is appropriate for most adults and is commonly used in preventive care.

You should consider this test if you:

• Want a routine health screening
• Are experiencing painful urination, frequent urination, or urinary urgency
• Have symptoms such as back pain, abdominal pain, fever, or fatigue
• Are monitoring kidney health, diabetes, or metabolic conditions

This test does not diagnose a specific condition on its own but provides valuable information to guide further evaluation and treatment.
