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.
