Urinalysis Complete

A Complete Urinalysis is one of the most common and essential screenings for overall health. This test evaluates a urine sample in three ways: visually for clarity and color, chemically for various compounds, and microscopically for cells or bacteria. It provides a broad "snapshot" of your metabolic health, kidney function, and can detect early signs of a wide range of disorders even before you feel symptoms.

What This Test Covers

• Chemical Screen: Checks for glucose (sugar), protein, ketones, bilirubin, and blood.

• Acidity and Concentration: Measures pH levels and specific gravity to see how well your kidneys filter fluid.

• Microscopic Exam: Identifies red blood cells, white blood cells, crystals, and bacteria.

Why Order This Test?

• General Health Screening: Frequently used as part of a routine physical to catch early signs of kidney disease or diabetes.

• UTI Detection: Helps confirm a urinary tract infection if you are experiencing burning, frequency, or cloudy urine.

• Kidney and Liver Monitoring: Detects protein or bilirubin, which can indicate that these organs aren't filtering waste correctly.

• Diabetes Check: Screens for excess sugar (glucose) or ketones in the urine, which are key indicators of high blood sugar.

• Dehydration Assessment: Helps determine if your body is getting enough fluids based on the concentration of your urine.
