Leukocytes (white blood cells indicating infection), Nitrite, Urobilinogen, Protein, pH, Blood, Specific Gravity, Ketone, Bilirubin, Glucose

The Urinalysis can determine a number of health problems. It will see if your kidneys are functioning normally, if sugar is present in your urine, if you’re burning fat or if you have a urinary tract infection (its most common use). In addition, it can locate substances that may be causing everything from metabolic problems to kidney disorders. Some doctors request a Urinalysis before surgery or during the early stages of pregnancy.

Why the Test is Performed

A urinalysis may be done: As part of a routine medical exam to screen for early signs of disease. If you have signs of diabetes or kidney disease, or to monitor you if you are being treated for these conditions. To check for blood in the urine. To diagnose a urinary tract infection

A Urinalysis should be considered if you’re experiencing back pain, abdominal pain, blood in the urine, painful urination or frequent urination. These symptoms can be signs of more problematic health concerns such as urinary tract infections or organ failure in people with kidney disease.
