Routine Urinalysis

Routine Urinalysis is a test that analyzes a urine sample to assess overall health and detect various medical conditions. This test evaluates several characteristics of the urine, including its color, clarity, and specific gravity, along with the presence of substances such as proteins, glucose, red and white blood cells, and bacteria. A urine sample is collected and analyzed in a laboratory using chemical reagents and automated equipment. This analysis is essential for diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as urinary tract infections, diabetes, kidney disease, and other metabolic or systemic disorders. By examining the urine, healthcare providers can gain valuable insights into kidney function, hydration status, and overall health, which guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions.

Routine urinalysis is typically recommended annually during health checkups or as needed based on specific symptoms.
