Urine (Routine Examination)

Urine (Routine Examination) is a basic diagnostic test used to analyze the physical, chemical, and microscopic properties of urine. It helps in detecting infections, kidney diseases, metabolic disorders, and other health conditions. The test evaluates parameters like color, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, red and white blood cells, and the presence of bacteria or crystals.

This test is commonly recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms like burning sensation while urinating, frequent urination, lower abdominal pain, blood in urine, or suspected kidney problems. It is also part of routine health checkups, pregnancy evaluations, and pre-surgical assessments.

A fresh urine sample is required, usually collected in a sterile container. No fasting is necessary, but patients should follow the doctor’s instructions for proper sample collection. The test results help in diagnosing conditions such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney disease, diabetes, or liver disorders. Abnormal findings may require further investigation with additional tests.

Suitable for all age groups, this test is particularly useful for individuals with a history of urinary issues, kidney disorders, or diabetes. Since urine abnormalities can indicate underlying health concerns, consulting a doctor for interpretation and further medical advice is essential for proper treatment and management.
