Urinalysis FAQs
A Urinanalysis is a fairly easy test that is done by visual inspection, strip testing, and microscopy of urine samples. The physical (visual) component involves the inspection of color, odor, turbidity, specific gravity, and volume of urine. The chemical component uses a dipstick to check pH, proteins, ketones, glucose, blood cells, bilirubin, leukocyte esterase, and nitrates. The microscopic component detects casts, bacteria, yeasts, epithelial cells, crystals, and blood cells in urine.
Since bacteria, cells, and other particles can readily contaminate urine, it is advisable to wash the genital area with water, not soap, before providing a sample. Using "clean" midstream urine is necessary to obtain an accurate result and prevent bacterial contamination. By stopping the flow of pee after a few seconds and collecting this middle section of the urine in a cup, you may obtain a sample of midstream urine. If there is anything more you need to be aware of for your particular test, your doctor will let you know.
The quickest approach to test urine is using a rapid urine test. This entails briefly dipping a test strip with brief coloured squares onto the urine sample. Then, you must wait a short while for the outcome to show up. The test strip's fields change colour depending on how much of the specific chemical you are testing for is present. As a result, the colours of the areas are then contrasted with a colour table.
