Routine Urinalysis

Title: Urinalysis Test Package
Description: A routine urinalysis is a simple, non-invasive test that offers a powerful window into your health. By analyzing the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of urine, this test helps detect early signs of kidney disease, urinary tract infections (UTIs), diabetes, liver conditions, and other metabolic imbalances. It’s an essential tool used in both routine check-ups and symptom-based evaluations.
Why It Matters: Urinalysis is more than just a lab test—it’s a preventive health essential. Whether part of an annual exam or prompted by specific symptoms, it can reveal:

• Kidney disease: Protein or blood in urine may be early warning signs.
• UTIs: White blood cells or bacteria can indicate infection.
• Diabetes: Glucose in urine may signal elevated blood sugar.
• Liver disorders: Abnormal bilirubin levels can point to hepatic concerns.
• Dehydration or imbalances: Unusual concentration or chemical shifts offer insight into hydration and electrolyte status.

What’s Included:

• Physical Examination: Checks color, clarity, and odor—important indicators of hydration and health.
• Chemical Analysis: Measures pH, protein, glucose, ketones, and blood—key markers for systemic conditions.
• Microscopic Review: Identifies red/white blood cells, bacteria, yeast, crystals, or casts—potential signs of infection, inflammation, or kidney issues.

How to Prepare:

• Drink water as usual, but avoid overhydration.
• Inform your provider of any medications or supplements.
• Skip intense workouts right before the test, as they may skew results.

Understanding Your Results:
Your healthcare provider will interpret the findings in the context of your overall health and symptoms. If abnormalities are found, further testing or treatment may be recommended. Urinalysis is a quick and effective way to catch potential problems early—empowering you to take charge of your health before issues escalate.
