Urinalysis FAQs
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.
Urinalysis results allow laboratories to utilise urinalysis to look for indications of further issues. For instance, excessive quantities of cholesterol in the urine might result in cholesterol crystals. Urinary casts are typically a symptom of kidney illness, such as renal pelvis inflammation. A doctor can be consulted about unusual results, and other, more accurate testing, such as blood tests, might be performed.
