About this test
A Urine Routine (urinalysis) examines the physical, chemical and microscopic properties of urine. It is a simple, inexpensive screen for urinary tract infections, kidney disease, diabetes, dehydration and other disorders — often the first test ordered for urinary symptoms.
Clinical significance
Pus cells and bacteria point to a urinary tract infection; protein can signal kidney damage; glucose or ketones may reveal uncontrolled diabetes; and blood (RBCs) can indicate infection, stones or kidney disease. Because it screens several systems at once, it's a valuable first-line test that guides further work-up.
