About Our 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.
